ABSTRACT

Although they represent less than one percent of all the gastrointestinal tumors, the stromal tumors are the most common mesenchymal tumors in the digestive system. They are heterogeneous tumors that vary in size, morphology and biological behavior. Their virtual behavior ranges from benign tumors to very aggressive cancers, often metastatic. Gastrointestinal stromal tumor may appear in any point of the gastrointestinal tract from the esophagus to the anus. Here is a 49 years-old man who went to the doctor´s because of abdominal pains. The studies showed ganglionic package. Video-laparoscopy showed tumor at the jejunum that was excised and removed. The result of the biopsy revealed a fusocellular tumor of the gastrointestinal stroma of GIST type in the small intestine wall with low grade differentiation (leiomyoma) of possible aggressive behavior.
