Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour involving rectum and anal canal is an extremely rare entity. This is a case report of a 47 years lady presented with fresh rectal bleed associated with rectal pain and foul smelling rectal mucus discharge. On rectal examination, she had a firm mass palpable about 1.5 cm from anal verge. Considering the size of the tumour and its close proximity with cervix and involvement of levator muscles, extralevator abdominal perineal excision of rectum was undertaken with good recovery after surgery. It was followed by imatinib therapy.

Bowel Mucosa

Lipomas are benign tumours consisting of mature fatcells and are perhaps the most common neoplasm. It can be solitary or multiple occurring throughout the whole body, but it can rarely originate in the intestinal mesentery. These tumours have very little potential for malignancy with the incidence of sarcomatous change in less than 1% of cases. Concurrent occurrence of gastrointestinal stromal tumour which arises from the mesenchymal components of the gastric and small bowel mucosa is a rarity. Here we present a rare case of mesenteric lipomatosis presenting as mass per abdomen which on evaluation and exploration of abdomen turned out to be multiple mesenteric lipomas with another hard mass arising from the antimesenteric border of the small intestine (ileum), for which mesenteric lipoma excision and resection of hard mass along with the segment of ileum and end to end anastomosis was done.

Ovarian Tumours

Ovarian fibroma is the most common sex cord stromal tumour of ovary accounting to 1-5% of all ovarian tumours. Minor sex cord elements in ovarian fibroma are a rare entity occupying less than 10% of tumour area. To the best of our knowledge only 20 cases has been reported till date. This case is presented because of its rarity. Authors reported a case of fibrothecoma with minor sex cord elements in a 70yr old postmenopausal women who presented with postmenopausal bleeding with abdominal mass.

Abdominal Cyst

Differential diagnosis of a new abdominal mass is broad and includes infection, malignancy and other inflammatory processes. Definitive diagnosis may be challenging without invasive biopsy, as history, physical exam and imaging may be non-specific. A 69-year-old man with a history of abdominal tuberculosis presented with a new painful abdominal cyst consistent with reactivation of tuberculosis versus new malignancy. Investigations revealed 4+ acid-fast bacilli from the aspirate suggestive of tuberculosis, but no improvement was noted on antituberculous therapy. Core needle biopsy noted c-KIT-positive spindle cells, diagnostic for a gastrointestinal stromal tumour, while cultures grew non-tuberculous mycobacteria.
