Although gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare tumors, they are the most common tumors of mesenchymal origin of the gastrointestinal tract. GISTs present with nonspecific clinical manifestation and they are discovered incidentally during endoscopic or radiological investigations. Massive life-threatening bleeding that requires urgent surgery is rare. We present a case of small bowel GIST that presented with massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding that required urgent surgical intervention.
尽管胃肠道间质瘤(GISTs)是罕见肿瘤,但它们是胃肠道间叶源性最常见的肿瘤。GISTs临床表现不具有特异性,在内镜检查或影像学检查时偶然被发现。需要紧急手术的危及生命的大出血情况很罕见。我们报告一例小肠GIST,其表现为需要紧急手术干预的大量下消化道出血。
