Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract; the clinical presentations of GIST are highly variable according to their site and size; gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain and mass related symptoms.
We present a rare case of a small bowel volvulus revealing a jejunal GIST, who benefited from a surgical cure followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.
Keywords: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor, volvulus, small bowel, chemotherapy
