Zusammenfassung: | We report a case of jejunoileal intussusception in a 42-year-old patient with Crohn's disease caused by a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. The patient complained of vague diffuse abdominal pain for a period of 4 mo. Intussusception was suspected at computer tomogra- phy and magnetic resonance imaging scans. Segmental resection of the small intestine was performed. Patho- logical examination of the surgical specimen revealed a gastrointestinal stromal tumor as well as aphthous ulcerations and areas of inflammation, which were characteristic of Crohn's disease, This is the first report of small bowel intussusception due to a gastrointestinal stromal tumor coexisting with Crohn's disease. |
