Mutifocal gatrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare conditions that are usually associated with other syndromes or reported in pediatric cases. The sporadic form represents only 11% of GISTs. The imaging features on a contrast-enhanced computed tomography examination, surgery and histopathology of a rare case of a sporadic multifocal small bowel GISTs in an emergency setting are described. This case highlights how GISTs appearances on an imaging computed tomography may vary. Radiologists can have difficulty in defining the point of origin of large lesions. In our case, laparotomy open surgery was mandatory to figuring out the correct diagnosis.
