Abstract:
Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare subtype of soft tissue sarcoma that occurs predominantly in young patients. Despite its relatively indolent course, it generally has a poor prognosis with widespread metastases. The common metastatic sites from an ASPS include the lung, brain and bone. However, metastasis of an ASPS to the gastrointestinal tract is extremely rare. Here, we report a rare case of upper gastrointestinal bleeding and jejunal intussusception due to gastrointestinal metastases from an ASPS.
