Two duodenal gastrointestinal stroma tumors: Management by minimally invasive surgery and then by conservative surgery.

ABSTRACT

We report the case of a 48-year-old woman treated for a gastrointestinal stroma tumor of the duodenum after presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. She was treated with a combination of a radiological and endoscopic approach and minimally invasive surgery. During follow-up, the patient developed a second metachronous duodenal gastrointestinal stroma tumor, distinct from a local recurrence. This tumor was treated with a conservative surgical approach.
