Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common malignant subepithelial lesions of the gastro-intestinal tract, they can be difficult to diagnose and have a varied clinical outcome. We report the case of a 70-year-old man who presented a recurrent and severe gastro intestinal bleeding revealing an ileal GIST. Upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy showed no abnormalities, meanwhile abdominal CT scan revealed the tumor. The patient underwent surgery and the diagnosis of an ileal GIST was confirmed by histopathological evaluation.
