Abstract
Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are rare, reported incidence is between 10 to 15 cases per million of habitants. They are usually located in the stomach (56%), small intestine (32%), colon-rectum (6%), and esophagus (<1%). Its symptoms include nausea, vomiting and abdominal fullness; 30% are asymptomatic. Incidental finding during abdominal surgery or imaging studies is common. Resection with negative margins is the standard treatment.
Case report: A 69-year-old female patient who debuted with massive digestive tract bleeding, requiring surgical treatment. A tumor was detected at jejunum compatible with a GIST.
