Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours(GISTs) are uncommon neoplasms, with 31.8% occurring in small bowel, and jejunal GIST being the rarest subtype among all types of GISTs, accounting for 0.1%–3% of all GIT tumours. GIST presenting as a palpable abdominopelvic mass, as is being described in this case report, is exceedingly rare and only 25 such cases have been previously reported in the world literature, with a higher female preponderance. Since this patient had a Giant GIST which was locally-advanced, it can be effectively treated with Imatinib for 3-6 months followed by surgery and adjuvant therapy, thereby improving disease-free survival.
