Description

A 79-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with melena. On abdominal computed tomography (CT) , an enhanced mass was shown in the small bowel. Capsule endoscopy (CE) was performed. A submucosal tumor found in the jejunum was suspected to be the source of bleeding. After hospitalization, melena persisted and surgical resection of the tumor was performed to achieve hemostasis. Histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis as gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) .
