Rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are extremely rare, accounting for approximately 0.1% of all rectal tumors. Diagnosis is based on histological and immunohistochemical confirmation. We report the case of a 38-year-old patient with a rectal GIST revealed by chronic rectal bleeding associated with rectal tenesmus, abdominal pain with painful contractions and frequent evacuations evolving in a context of altered general state. Rectoscopy was used to visualize the tumor mass and to take biopsies; their histological and immunohistochemical study revealed a rectal location of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. The extension assessment was negative. After discussion of the case in a multidisciplinary consultation meeting, management consisted of initially putting the patient on Imatinib given the large tumor size, the degree of local invasion and the location of the mass (lower rectum), with regular follow-up in order to schedule a less invasive surgical resection later. Despite the rarity of rectal GIST, early diagnosis is necessary to avoid progression to locoregional invasion complicating some surgical resections given the anatomical constraints of the pelvic region. Hence the interest of neoadjuvant therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors allowing in some cases a decrease in tumor volume, a regression of the degree of local invasion and a decrease in the morbidity of the surgery in order to improve the patient's quality of life.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are a rare type of neoplasm arising within the gastrointestinal tract. Current treatment guidelines employ target-based therapy and adjuvant treatment with imatinib mesylate. We report a case of imatinib-induced renal injury in a 48-year-old male undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy after surgical resection of a rectal GIST. Upon initiation of imatinib therapy, the patient’s serum creatinine steadily rose and met criteria for kidney injury after twenty months of therapy. Drug discontinuation led to a normalization of renal function, but upon reinitiating therapy the serum creatinine sharply increased again. The patient’s recurrent acute renal injury led to indefinite drug discontinuation. Imatinib toxicities have been well studied; however, there are no reports to date noting its renal effects in the GIST patient population. This case report highlights imatinib as therapy for GISTs, describes an event of imatinib-induced renal injury, and reviews current treatment modalities.
