Comprehensive Literature Review

We present a rare case of gastrogastric intussusception due to gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and the largest comprehensive literature review of published case reports on gastrointestinal (GI) intussusception due to GIST in the past three decades. We found that the common presenting symptoms were features of gastrointestinal obstruction and melena. We highlight the diagnostic challenges faced in low-resource countries. Our findings emphasize the importance of early clinical diagnosis in low-resource settings in order to guide timely management. In addition, histological analysis of the tumor for macroscopic and microscopic characteristics including mitotic index and c-Kit/CD117 status should be obtained to guide adjuvant therapy with imatinib mesylate. Periodic follow-up to access tumor recurrence is fundamental and should be the standard of care.

Rare Presentation

Abstract Background Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) can arise anyplace along the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The uncommon tumor location in groin area is rarely reported. Case presentation We herein reported a metastasized case presented as GI hemorrhage complicated with indirect hernia, and underwent tumor cytoreduction, herniorrhaphy and chemotherapy for jejunal GIST. The case was described consecutively based on the process of surgical management, with a good follow-up result. A literature review by searching similar case reports from two national medical databases was performed to summarize clinical features of such unusual presentation of GIST, which included hernia characteristics, short- and long-term outcomes of this disease. It showed GIST presenting as groin hernia was rarely reported and all available 11 cases suggested a primary tumor and required both tumor resection and hernia repair. The long-term results indicated 64.3% overall survival at 5 years after the incidental diagnosis. Conclusions Inguinal hernia is an extremely rare presentation of GIST, with limited case reports available in the literature. A radical involving tumor resection plus hernia repair is an optimal surgical approach for such uncommon condition. An adjuvant medication mounting on mutated KIT gene should be strictly followed for high risk cases.

Gastric Mass

Gastric schwannomas are rare mesenchymal tumors that arise from the nerve plexus of gut wall. They present with nonspecific symptoms and are often detected incidentally. Preoperative investigation is not pathognomic and many are therefore misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumors. We report a rare case of a 37-year old woman who underwent laparotomy for complex bilateral ovarian cyst with resection of gastric-gastrointestinal stromal tumor preoperatively, but confirmed to have a gastric schwannomas postoperatively. This case underscores the differential diagnosis of submucosal, exophytic gastric mass as schwannoma.

History Of

Desmoid tumors (deep fibromatosis) of the mesentery are rare mesenchymal tumors. They are often misdiagnosed, especially with a previous history of resection for gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Immunohistochemistry can help differentiate between these two tumors. In this article, we present a case we had encountered: a Desmoid tumor developing in a patient with a history of GIST 3 years ago. It is the first case of GIST with subsequent development of Desmoid tumor to be reported in Saudi Arabia. We discuss the two entities of Desmoid tumor and GIST by comparing their definitions, clinical presentations, histological features, immunohistochemistry stains, molecular pathogenesis, prognosis, and treatment. We also discuss the relationship between GIST and the subsequent development of Desmoid tumors and compare our case with case reports in literature.
