  • Title: An infrequent case of intussusception caused by gastrointestinal stromal tumor in an adult patient.
    Author: Fersahoglu MM, Fersahoglu AT, Bulut NE, Narin BSA, Tezer S.
    Journal: North Clin Istanb; 2017; 4(2):192-194. PubMed ID: 28971180.
    Abstract:
    Intussusception may occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal system. Unlike its idiopathic childhood counterpart, it is uncommon during adult life and a definitive cause is usually found; almost half of cases develop with malignancy. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) originate from interstitial Cajal cells of the gastrointestinal tract. They more frequently occur in the stomach and small intestines, and often grow extraluminally, making it unlikely to cause an obstruction or bleeding. Presently described is an unusual instance of ileo-ileal intussusception due to GIST.
