Obscure GI bleeding due to gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) diagnosed by capsule endoscopy.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a submucosal tumor which is most commonly found in the stomach and less commonly in small bowel. Small bowel GIST can be difficult to diagnose by conventional imaging and endoscopy techniques. We report a case of obscure GI bleeding due to a stromal tumor (GIST) of the jejunum diagnosed by video capsule endoscopy.
