Acute Pancreatitis and Gastroduodenal Intussusception Induced by an Underlying Gastric Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: A Case Report

Mehmet Siddik Yildiz et al. J Gastric Cancer. 2016 Mar.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare tumors of the gastrointestinal system and comprise only 1% to 3% of all gastrointestinal tract tumors, with the majority of them arising in the stomach. In this report, we present the unique findings of a case of gastroduodenal intussusception caused by an underlying gastric GIST and complicated with severe acute pancreatitis.

Keywords: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors; Intussusception; Pancreatitis, acute necrotizing; Stomach.

Also visible are stranding of the peripancreatic fat and fluid accumulation around heterogenously ehancing pancreas, a sign of early necrosis.
