Incidental Gastric and Omental Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors During One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass, A Case Report and Literature Review

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Research shows that the incidence of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) is significantly higher in patients with obesity, ranging from 0.6% to 0.8%, compared to just 0.001% in the general population. We present a case of a 53‐year‐old woman with a BMI of 47 kg/m2 who planned to undergo an OAGB. During the surgery, after a primary abdominal exploration, two incidental mass lesions were found on the gastric serosa and omentum; histopathological evaluation indicated a very low‐risk GIST.
