Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) in patients under 18 years of age are classified as pediatric GIST. Pediatric GIST are extremely rare, and there are no reports of laparoscopic-endoscopic cooperative surgery for these lesions. We report the use of non-exposed endoscopic wall-inversion surgery as a laparoscopic-endoscopic cooperative surgery-related procedure for the treatment of a pediatric GIST. The case involved a 17-year-old male patient who presented with anemia and was found to have a bleeding gastric tumor. The tumor was resected transorally using the non-exposed endoscopic wall-inversion surgery technique. No gene mutation of c-Kit or Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor α (PDGFRα) was found, and the final pathological diagnosis was epithelial-type GIST due to a succinate dehydrogenase abnormality. Follow-up included a CT scan every 4 months. No recurrence has occurred to date.
