GIST is one of the most studied and conversely one of the least found tumor of the GIT . Further if we talk about GIST presenting as a cause of acute emergency, the exclusivity of the case becomes high. We present a case of 65 year old male patient, who presented to us initially with symptoms of intestinal obstruction which lead to acute abdomen within a span of 6 hours after admission. Exploratory laparotomy of the patient revealed a 6 x 5 x 3 cm perforated cystic lesion arising from the mesenteric border of the jejunum nearly 60 cm from the ligament of trietz. The lesion was communicating with the lumen of the jejunum. This was followed by resection anastamosis and the HPE of the specimen revealed it to be a GIST.
