Introduction. Acute bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal system is a medical emergency which is followed by high mortality rate, ranging from 6 to 15% in spite of modern diagnostic methods and treatment. Bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal system may be caused by gastrointestinal stromal tumors of the stomach, which are mainly characterized by occult bleeding, while profuse bleeding rarely occurs accompanied by hemorrhagic shock. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors of stomach are the most common mesenchimal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Case Report. In our study we showed a 60-year-old female patient with profuse bleeding from the stomach and the clinical picture of severe hemorrhagic shock, caused by gastrointestinal stromal tumor. An ovoid junction, raised towards the lumen, covered with ulcerated mucosa in several places and followed by massive arterial bleeding was found intraoperatively, after the performed gastrotomy. Histopathological examination with immunohistochemical analysis confirmed that this was a gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the stomach. Discussion. Acute bleeding from the digestive system is a sudden and serious condition of the body. Urgent esophagogastroduodenoscopy is a sensitive and specific diagnostic and therapeutic method of choice. Massive bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract is very rarely caused by gastrointestinal stromal tumors, whose clinical picture is very heterogeneous and depends on tumor size and location. Abundant bleeding from the tumor is an indication for urgent surgical intervention. Conclusion. According to the literature massive hemorrhage of the upper digestive system can rarely be caused by gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the stomach. It is shown that abundant hemorrhage of the upper digestive tract can be caused with gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Surgical resection is the main form of treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors of the digestive system and bleeding from these tumors caused by failure of endoscopic hemostasis.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are rare tumors, originating from the interstitial cells of Cajal. They are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Metastatic tumor is treated with imatinib mesylate. A case of large metastases of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor to the omentum, diagnosis and treatment principles are presented in this case report.

The source of most cases of gastrointestinal bleeding is the upper gastrointestinal tract. Since bleeding from the small intestine is very rare and difficult to diagnose, time is required to identify the source. Among small intestine bleeds, vascular abnormalities account for 70–80%, followed by small intestine tumors that account for 5–10%. The reported peak age of the onset of small intestinal tumors is about 50 years. Furthermore, rare small bowel tumors account for only 1–2% of all gastrointestinal tumors. We describe a 29-year-old man who presented with obscure anemia due to gastrointestinal bleeding and underwent laparotomy. Surgical findings revealed a well-circumscribed lesion measuring 45 × 40 mm in the jejunum that initially appeared similar to diverticulosis with an abscess. However, the postoperative pathological diagnosis was a gastrointestinal stromal tumor with extramural growth.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are relatively rare pathology as compared with other mitotic lesions of GIT. However, GIST is the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. Biopsy of the lesion and Immuno-Histo-Chemistry (IHC) for CD117 confirms the diagnosis. Surgery remains the standard of care and only potentially curative therapy for patients with primary, resectable, localized gastrointestinal stromal tumor. However, chemotherapy with Imatinib is added in neoadjuvant or adjuvant form according to clinical situation, and histopathological status of the lesion.

Primary gastric melanoma is an extremely rare disease. Melanoma of upper gastrointestinal tract usually occurs as metastasis from a primary skin tumor in 1 to 4 % of cases. The paper describes a case report of primary gastric melanoma in a female patient who received complex therapy at the State Healthcare Institution Ulyanovsk Regional Clinical Oncology Dispensary.

Extragastrointestinal Stromal Tumor

Abstract Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are an uncommon sarcomas with mesenchymal origin that arises in the gastrointestinal tract. Recently, most of the published reports describe such tumors located outside of the gastrointestinal tract, with similar pathological characteristics and are named extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors. We report the case of a patient suffering for a giant retroperitoneal extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor, complicated with intra-tumoral hemorrhage. The particularity of this case is the presence of the intra-tumoral hemorrhage in a retroperitoneal extragastrointestinal stromal tumor that grew rapidly in volume (in 1 week).
