Gastroduodenal intussusception as a rare complication of gastrointestinal stromal tumor: a case report.

Intussusception is a common and well-known surgical pathology. Intussusception in adults is rare, accounting for only 5% of all intussusceptions. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are common mesenchymal tumors of the stomach that can act as a pathological lead point for intussusception. Herein, we present an uncommon case of gastroduodenal intussusception in an elderly female patient due to gastric GIST which was successfully managed surgically by partial gastric resection. This case report creates awareness that clinicians should have gastric intussusception as their differential diagnosis for gastric outlet obstruct and highlights the importance of further radiological investigations.
