Abstract
Introduction: Gastro intestinal stromal tumors are rare which can arise at any age, mostly between 50 and 60 years old . They are characterized by the expression on the surface of their cells, a specific gene c-kit. They can be located in any segment of the digestive tract, with a preference for the stomach (60%). The jejunum location is found in 200% to 30% of the cases. The originality of our observation is the revelation of a stromal jejunum tumor by a digestive bleeding. Case Report: A 71-year-old man was admitted in emergencies for a low digestive plentiful bleeding with state of hypovolemia shock . Result: The operat ion was performed after stabilization of his dynamic state and blood transfusion and we discovered a jejuna l stromal tumor in operati on . The follow - up was simple with a good evolution under treatment by Imatinib. Conclusion: Stromal digestive tumors are rare which can interest all the segments of the digestive tract and their diagnosis must be often evoked in front of any digestive bleeding .
