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.

Abstract Primary mesenteric gastrointestinal stromal tumors may give rise to abdominal emergencies like bowel obstruction and should be considered in the differential diagnosis to reduce morbidity and mortality. The present study presents an unusual case of primary mesenteric gastrointestinal stromal tumor presenting with small bowel obstruction. A 44-year-old healthy male presented with abdominal pain for 2 days. Detailed examination revealed presence of a 4 × 4 cm mass in the small bowel mesentery with multiple small bowel loops adherent to it, together with their mesentery. The patient was diagnosed with primary gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the small bowel mesentery. He had an uneventful postoperative course and was discharged on the second postoperative day in a good condition. The case analysis showed that the diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor is likely with the emergence of CD117, despite of its occurrence at rare sites and it is a vague clinical picture.
