Article Synopsis
- A 55-year-old man experienced severe gastrointestinal bleeding due to an ileal gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), which was identified through CTA imaging.
- The tumor was surgically removed, resulting in stabilized hemoglobin levels, and was confirmed to be a low-grade GIST after pathology analysis.
- Clinically, GISTs are rare but important to consider in cases of unexplained gastrointestinal hemorrhage; effective imaging techniques like CTA are crucial for proper diagnosis.
