After a failed surgery in his home country, 32-year-old Omar Salim from Tanzania approached doctors at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi, India, to have two large tumours – one in the lever and another in the rectum – removed. After the challenging surgery, the doctors were surprised at the massiveness of the tumours. While the liver tumour was 15x14 centimetres in size and weighed 1.2 kilograms, the rectal tumour was 24 x 13 centimetres in size and weighed 1.9 kilograms.
It has turned out to be the first reported synchronous resection for such a large rectal gastro-intestinal strom al tumor (GIST) with a solitary large liver lesion.
“The patient came to us in October 2017 with complaints of a large mass in the abdomen and abdominal pain since past one year. A previous attempt at surgery in his country had failed in view of the extent of the disease. He was initially evaluated with a CT scan of the abdomen which revealed that there was a large mass in relation to the rectum with compression of the urinary bladder and extending to the anterior abdominal wall upto the level of the umbilicus. There was another large mass in the left lobe of liver occupying nearly the whole of the left upper abdomen. Biopsy revealed a diagnosis of rectal GIST,” stated surgeon Dr Vivek Mangla – the Consultant Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Surgeon at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, who conducted the surgery.

“To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a synchronous resection for such a large rectal GIST with a solitary large liver lesion,” he claims.
He added, “Though GISTs are seen fairly commonly in the intestinal tract but only about 5% of all cases of GIST occur in the rectum. The case was discussed in a multidisciplinary team and targeted therapy was given for three months. On re-evaluation after 3 months of therapy, it was found that there had been only a slight decrease in the size of the mass but the good thing was that there had been no progression of the disease. There was no evidence of disease spread elsewhere in the body. After detailed discussion with the patient’s family and multidisciplinary team, the patient was planned for surgery.”
The operating team led by Dr Vivek Mangla included of Urologist Dr Manu Gupta, Anesthetist Dr Akhil Kumar, three assistant surgeons and other supporting staff.
Patient underwent resection of both the lesions on January 31. The surgery lasted 7 hours and despite the extent of the tumour and surgery, and did not require any blood transfusion during the surgery. The liver tumour was 15x14 cm in size and weighed 1.2 kg. The rectal tumour was 24 x 13 cm in size and weighed 1.9 kg.

The mountain is high but it's not too steep; the battle is rough, but I not too weak, and I won't turn back Oh No! I won't turn back. O the road is hard, but it's not too long, and the enemy is near, but he's not that strong, and I won't turn back; Oh No! I won't turn back.

And they returned from searching of the land after forty days. And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land. And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
