Zusammenfassung: | A 63-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaint of melena. Colonoscopy revealed submucosal tumor with delle in the anterior wall of the rectum, but a biopsy specimen did not show any tumor component. Findings of contrast-enhanced CT and MRI led to a diagnosis of rectal GIST. There was no evidence of infiltration or distant metastasis, so we planned laparoscopic inter-sphincteric resection. However, during the preoperative time, the rectal GIST was excreted with excessive bleeding upon defecation. Colonoscopy revealed a crater-shaped lesion in the anterior wall of the rectum, and a biopsy specimen showed a rectal GIST. Two months after the event, laparoscopic inter-sphincteric resection was performed. Histopathological examination showed high-risk rectal GIST. Adjuvant chemotherapy with imatinib mesylate was administered for 18 months. Currently the patient is in relapse-free survival. Here, we report a relatively rare case in which we performed laparoscopic inter-sphincteric resection for rectal GIST that was excreted. |
