case_images: A PET/CT demonstrated mild FDG uptake in the small bowel mass and intense uptake in the liver lesions (Figure 1).

case_images: It showed necrotic cells, a few polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and purulence, but there were no malignant cells (Figure 2).
case_images: Biopsy of small bowel mass with spindle cell morphology, consistent with gastro intestinal stromal tumor.

case_images: On pathology the small bowel mass had a spindle cell morphology and on immunohistochemistry the tumor cells showed expression of CD117, confirming the diagnosis of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (Figure 3).
case_images: Post-therapy positron emission tomography/computerized tomography showing complete resolution of the lesions following antibiotic treatment.
