Summary | A 60-year-old Khmer woman visited a hospital established by a Japanese non-profit organization in the Kingdom of Cambodia with complaints of swelling in the left abdomen and appetite loss for 2 months. Abdominal computed tomography scan showed a mass measuring 14.6×13.4×19.3 cm with internal necrosis in the left abdomen. On laparotomy, a large tumor involving the jejunum had adhered to the transverse and descending colons. The tumor, measuring 25×20×10 cm and weighing 2,994 g, was excised along with 65 cm of the jejunum. Histopathological examination revealed a gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST). Postoperative course was uneventful. Thanks to the cooperation with the Japanese and the Cambodian people, the surgery was successful in spite of a shortage of medical personnel and medical resources in Cambodia. |
