Publication: Small bowel stromal tumour revealed by a lower gastrointestinal bleeding
Int J Res Med Sci. 2016;4(4):1248-1250.DOI10.18203/2320-6012.ijrms20160688
Abstract
Small bowel stromal tumour must be systematically researched in the presence of obscure and persistent low gastrointestinal bleeding despite a normal endoscopic examination (OGDF and colonoscopy). Video capsule endoscopy is the best diagnosis examination; if it is not available a CT enterography could be useful. Surgical treatment is effective on localized and weak malignancy small bowel stromal tumours.
