ADVANCED RESEARCH IN GASTROENTEROLOGY & HEPATOLOGY JUNIPER PUBLISHERS       Authored by Sanjay Kumar Yadav Abstract Clear cell sarcoma, a very rare type of soft tissue sarcoma is mostly seen in extremities of young adults. Gastrointestinal tract is a very rare anatomical location for clear cell sarcoma. Only isolated case reports have been published. We are reporting a 65 years old male patient who presented with history of bleeding per rectum and features of sub-acute intestinal obstruction. The patient underwent contrast enhanced abdominal computerized tomography (CT), which showed circumferential wall thickening extending about 5 cm in length, causing concentric nARGHowing of the lumen of ileum.

After 8 months of surgery, patient is disease free and doing well. Keywords:...
