Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) represent rare neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. Here we describe a case with GIST and thrombocytosis presenting as an acute abdomen. Our knowledge, the co-existence of GIST and thrombocytosis has not been reported so far. A 66-year old female was admitted to the emergency room with epigastric pain and vomiting over duration of 3 days. Physical examination showed abdominal distension, rebound tenderness, and a palpable RLQ mass. The abdominal exploration showed that a 6x6x6 cm mass was located on small intestine. The mass was completely resected and enteroenterostomy was performed. Specific immunophenotype studies results showed GIST. During the post operative follow up, platelets were above normal levels 400x109/l. Therefore, bone marrow biopsy was performed and hiperplasia in megakaryocytes were found. The current treatment for localized disease is surgical resection. Co-existence of thrombocytosis and GIST has never been reported.

Gastrointestinal stromal tümör (GIST) gastrointestinal traktusun nadir görülen neoplamlarındandır. Biz bu yazıda akut batınla seyreden trombosiztozisle birlikte görülen gastrointestinal stromal tümörü tanımladık. Literatür bilgilerine göre bugüne kadar trombositozisle birlikte seyreden GIST tanımlanmamıstır. 66 yasında bayan hasta, acil servise 3 gündür devam eden epigastrik ağrı ve kusma ile basvurdu. Fizik muayenede abdominal distansiyon, rebound ve sağ alt kadranda palpabl kitle mevcuttu. Abdominal eksplorasyonda ince barsakta lokalize 6*6*6 cm lik kitle saptandı. Kitle total olarak çıkarıldı ve enteroenterostomi yapıldı. Spesifik immunfenotipik çalısmalar GIST gösterdi. Ameliyat sonrası takipte trombosit değerlerinin 400.000 in üstünde olduğu görüldü. Onun için alınan kemik iliği biopsisinde megakaryosit hiperplazisi saptandı. Lokalize hastalığın suanki tedavisi cerrahi rezeksiyondur. GIST ve trombositozis birlikteliği bugüne kadar rapor edilmemistir
