Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors. This case highlights the unusual complication of GISTs presenting as intestinal fistulas, a seldom-seen clinical presentation.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Oncology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
- While GISTs can occur anywhere along the GI tract, complications like fistulization are infrequent.
- Understanding the diverse clinical manifestations of GISTs is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
