Acute Pancreatitis and Gastroduodenal Intussusception Induced by an Underlying Gastric Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: A Case Report

چکیده
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare tumors of the gastrointestinal system and comprise only 1% to 3% of all gastrointestinal tract tumors, with the majority of them arising in the stomach. In this report, we present the unique findings of a case of gastroduodenal intussusception caused by an underlying gastric GIST and complicated with severe acute pancreatitis.

متن کاملGastrointestinal stromal tumor presenting as gastroduodenal intussusception.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs), are relatively common tumours of the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly found in the stomach. Previously they were termed as leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas. Clinically, they are asymptomatic but may cause abdominal pain or bleeding from ulceration of the overlying mucosa.

We present the case of a 76-year-old man with gastroduodenal intussusception secondary to a gastric hyperplastic polyp. Intussusception in the adult population occurs infrequently. Our patient presented with gastroduodenal intussusception, which is very uncommon and accounts for <10% of all types of intussusception. This case is unique in that partial endoscopic resection of the gastric hyperpl...
