Popis:	The incidence of GIST is 11–15 patients/million/year and they constitute 0.1 % to 3 % of all gastrointestinal malignancy [2]. They commonly originate in the stomach, followed by small intestine [1–4]. They rarely arise in the caecum, with the entire colon and rectum contributing to less than 5 % of all GISTs [1–4]. Anecdotal reports of small intestinal GIST presenting with perforation exist in the literature [5]. Caecal GIST presenting with perforation has been reported only in canines but not in humans [6]. GIST arising in the small intestine usually bleeds as opposed to carcinoids, which present with obstruction [7].
