An 82-year-old gentleman was having repeated problems of stomach bloating and constipation. A CT scan showed a mass in the small intestine. He was referred to Dr. Manoj Dongare, Senior Cancer & GI Surgeon at DY Patil Hospital, Pune. Dr. Manoj Dongare performed an exploratory laparotomy (open abdominal surgery), where a tumor was found in the mid-ileum (part of the small intestine). He successfully removed the tumor along with the affected part of the bowel and its blood supply (mesentery).The patient recovered well and was discharged on Day 7 after surgery without any complaints.
The final biopsy report (HPR) confirmed that it was a GIST (Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor) – a rare type of tumor in the digestive tract. Based on the findings, the patient has now been started on targeted therapy for long-term treatment. If you or a loved one is suffering from digestive tract tumors or symptoms like bloating and unexplained abdominal pain, consult Dr. Manoj Dongare, one of the leading Cancer Surgeons in Pune.
