Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) are rare mesenchymal tumors. The stomach is the most common. these tumors are usually asymptomatic. They may be symptomatic when the size is over 2 cm. Because of the developing endoscopic and radiological imaging techniques, most GISTs are incidentally recognized in the patient without symptoms yet. A biopsy is essential for definitive diagnosis. The only curative treatment of the disease is surgical excision. Imatinibmesylate, an inhibitor of tyrosine kinase, is used as a treatment option in patients without surgical resection.In this case, we present cases in which we planned emergency surgical operation with massive rectal bleeding due to GIST in the rectum.
