摘要: We report a case of patient observed in emergency condition for recurrent episodes massive obscure gastrointestinal bleeding that required surgical control. At laparotomy we found an ileal mass with the characteristics stromal tumor (GIST) at histopathological analysis. GISTs should always be considered as possible cause bleeding, although they are often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Laparotomy is sometimes only way obtain diagnosis. Starting from this case, reviewed literature about GISTs, focusing our attention on their diagnosis and nonsurgical therapies.
