Abstract

Small bowel tumors or malignancies are relatively less common with incidence of 22.7 cases per million. Gastrointestinal stromal tumor is a subset of gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors recognized as distinct group of mesenchymal tumors arising from interstitial cells of Cajal. It is most commonly present in the stomach followed by small intestine and colon. Small intestinal tumors have very high malignant potential.
