Abstract
Summary:
We present a rare case of a massive gastrointestinal bleed from a gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) originating from the jejunum. GISTs make up only 0.1-3% of all gastrointestinal neoplasms and typically present as an occult or chronic gastrointestinal bleeding. Acute gastrointestinal bleeding from the small bowel is uncommon and can be a challenging diagnosis to make.
