Article Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) comprised 0,2% of all GI tumors. They are typically asymptomatic, but can manifest with nonspecific GI symptoms, GI bleeding, or intussusception. The authors report a case of a 55-year-old female patient with hematochezia and a palpable mass on the left lower quadrant. Ultrasound revealed possible intussusception. However, CT scan did not show any signs of lesions or intussusception. On reevaluation, the mass was no longer palpable. The patient had recurrent episodes of hematochezia with need of transfusional support. CT enterography revealed a 20-24 mm jejunoileal lesion. A laparotomy was undertaken with small bowel resection containing the lesion. Histological examination confirmed GIST. GIST presentation as transient intussusception and intermittent GI bleeding is rare. This case report emphasizes the rarity of jejunoileal GIST, its clinical details, diagnostic study, and treatment.

Article Synopsis
- PTID accounts for around 5% of primary gastrointestinal tumors, with varying histological types showing both benign and malignant characteristics.
- A study analyzed 45 patients, primarily diagnosed at an average age of 54.2 years, with most cases (86%) found in the jejunum; GISTs, lymphomas, and adenocarcinomas were the most common tumor types identified.
- Double-balloon enteroscopy served as the primary diagnostic and treatment method, supporting various endoscopic procedures for managing these tumors, including biopsies and surgical interventions.

Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) located in the jejunum or ileum (JI-GIST) are considered worse prognosis compared to those of gastric (G-GIST) location. It has been suggested that this dogma should be revised. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of jejunoileal GISTs and its prognosis and to compare them with G-GISTs in the era of imatinib.
