title: [Huge cystic tumor in the left upper abdomen].
abstract: ABTRACT: We report the case of a 71-year-old man with a cystic tumor in the left upper abdomen and a long-standing history of symptoms. After completing clinical tests and imaging studies a laparotomy was performed. The tumor was removed together with the first jejunal loop and bowel reconstruction was completed by hand-sewn anastomosis. Histopathological analysis revealed a gastrointestinal stromal tumor classified as high risk.
