title: [Gastrointestinal stromal tumors of jejunum as a reason for bleeding of alimentary tract--case report].
abstract: We describe the case of a patient who was admitted to the ward because of bleeding from the alimentary tract. Both gastroscopy and colonoscopy did not permit to establish the reason of bleeding. The patient was qualified for laparoscopy. During laparoscopy the tumour as a reason of bleeding was found and removed from jejunum. The histopathological tests confirmed the diagnosis of low malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST). We present in our paper the rules applying to dealing with GIST.
