Duodenal stromaltumor detected by CT-enteroclysis.
Gastro-intestinal stromal tumors can present with gastro-intestinal hemorrhage, often with an acute episode of abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea and vomiting. We present a case of a young man who presented with gastrointestinal bleeding. The patient previously presented with gastro-intestinal bleeding but several investigations like gastroscopy, coloscopy, Ectopic gastric mucosa-scan, and computed tomography were reported as negative. A well-circumscribed submucosal tumoral mass in the duodenum with maximal thickness of 15 mm was however detected by CT-enteroclysis. Microscopic examination confirmed the presence of a gastro-intestinal stromal tumor.
