# Positional variability of a small intestinal stromal tumor: a case report

## TL;DR

A rare case of a small intestinal tumor that moved position in the pelvis within a day is reported, highlighting challenges in diagnosis and surgery.

## Contribution

Demonstrates positional variability of a small intestinal stromal tumor through serial imaging within a short timeframe.

## Key findings

- A small intestinal stromal tumor showed discernible migration on serial imaging within 24 hours.
- The tumor's position variability complicates diagnosis and surgical planning in the pelvic cavity.

## Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are rarely encountered within the pelvic cavity. Their positional variability on medical imaging poses significant diagnostic and surgical planning challenges. This report details a case in which a small intestinal stromal tumor exhibited discernible migration on serial imaging within a 24-hour period. The diagnosis was ultimately confirmed through surgical excision and subsequent histopathological examination.
