Ectopic splenic tissues mimicking gastro-intestinal stromal tumour in a patient after splenectomy for a giant epithelial cyst of spleen: A case report.

Introduction: Ectopic splenic tissues left after a previous splenectomy can masquerade as a gastro-intestinal stromal tumour (GIST).

Presentation Of Case: Splenectomy was carried out for a 17-year-old girl with a giant epithelial cyst of spleen. Four years later, an upper endoscopy carried out for dyspepsia revealed two sub-mucosal lesions at the posterior wall of the gastric fundus.

A ruptured recurrent small bowel gastrointestinal stromal tumour causing hemoperitoneum.

Hemoperitoneum is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication of GIST. We reported a 54-year-old man who developed disseminated intra-abdominal recurrence from a previously resected gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) of the small bowel, and the patient presented with hemoperitoneum. Emergent debulking surgery was performed.
