[Multiple gastrointestinal stromal masses in the small bowel detected in a patient with peritonitis].

We here report a case of multiple gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) in the small bowel detected in a patient with peritonitis. The peculiarity of this case study is the intraoperative detection of multifocal small bowel tumor masses, suggesting gastrointestinal stromal tumors on postoperative CT scan. Tumor couldn't be suspected clinically on the basis of peritonitis.

[Detection of complete common mesentery on CT scan for perforation in acute appendicitis].

Complete common mesentery is a rare abnormality in midgut rotation. Its detection is exceptional during adulthood because, during this period, is very often asymptomatic and therefore not diagnosed. Complete common mesentery may be discovered incidentally in patients with ectopic appendicular syndrome, as in our case study.
