dc.description.abstract | Gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) is a relatively rare neoplasm accounting for less than 3% of all malignant gastrointestinal tumours. The diagnosis of GIST is often delayed due to its indolent symptoms. Patients present in advanced stages with metastatic deposits and at times unresectable stage. This report presents a case of a jejunal GIST with subsequent metastasis to the liver and multiple peritoneal deposits in a 59-year-old female patient managed surgically. | en_US |
