This case illustrates a rare presentation of acute symptomatic recurrent metastatic GIST. Our patient was unusually young, and GIST recurrence presented with acute RLQ pain suggestive for acute appendicitis and also involved Meckel's diverticulum. Surgical debulking followed by imatinib seems to be a reasonable approach in such cases.
