    Abstract:
    Case1 was a 52-year-old man who had recurrence of postoperative intra-abdominal disseminations from gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) of the jejunum. Case2 was a 66-year-old man who had GIST of the jejunum with multiple liver metastases. Two cases presented hemoperitoneum caused by administration of imatinib mesylate, and we conducted emergent surgery. In spite of surgically non-curative cases, it is suggested that the surgical management for GIST of high grade group with peritoneal exposure should be followed by the administration of imatinib mesylate.
