Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are an uncommon sarcomas with mesenchymal origin that arises in the gastrointestinal tract. Recently, most of the published reports describe such tumors located outside of the gastrointestinal tract, with similar pathological characteristics and are named extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors. We report the case of a patient suffering for a giant retroperitoneal extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor, complicated with intra-tumoral hemorrhage. The particularity of this case is the presence of the intra-tumoral hemorrhage in a retroperitoneal extragastrointestinal stromal tumor that grew rapidly in volume (in 1 week).
