A241 Laparoscopic Resection of Excluded stomach for Incidental GIST tumor.
The patient was referred for a conversion of a gastric bypass to a duodenal switch for weight regain. The patient had a gastric bypass 15 years ago and had regained all of her weight. Since we did not have access to her operative records we performed a ct scan of her abdomen to evaluate her anatomy. Incidentally a large mass was found in the excluded stomach. A push enteroscopy was performed to biopsy and characterize the mass. The biopsy was consistent with a spindle cell neoplasm located along the lesser curve in the antrum of the stomach.
