Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), though the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, are rare accounting approximately 1% to 3% of all gastrointestinal tumors. We report a case of a female with GIST in the ileum presenting as acute abdomen. The present case highlights on surgery, histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry as a triad that helps in answering the bell for confirmed diagnosis.
