Within them GIST, a mesenchymal neoplasm in which 30% of patients have high grade malignancy, are even less common. Intussusception and GIST may have unspecific symptoms and it almost always presents with obstruction, palpable abdominal mass, hemorrhage and bowel perforation. A case of intestinal intussusception in adult due to GIST is reported, emphasizing diagnose and treatment.
