Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are tumours of the gut mainly seen in small bowel 25%, stomach 50 -60%.It is 0.2- 0.3% of all the GI tumours. It’s a rare but most common non epithelial small bowel tumor. It usually attains large size presenting as a palpable mass. They have lesser affinity for lymphatics. In this study it presented as an acute abdomen with right iliac fossa mass. Contrast enhanced computed tomography of abdomen revealed an enhanced peripheral lesion with features of peritonitis, suspicion of caecal perforation. Laprotomy findings showed gangrenous ileal gastrointestinal tumour over antimesentric border of ileum pathological study revealed a spindle type tumor. In my study this case was a rare and unusual differential diagnosis of right iliac fossa mass. This needs expertise suspicion and timely intervention to manage masquerading acute abdomen, to prevent morbidity, mortality.
Keywords: Terminal ileum, caecum, intestinal perforation, hematochezia.
