Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare tumors of the gastrointestinal system and comprise only 1% to 3% of all gastrointestinal tract tumors, with the majority of them arising in the stomach. In this report, we present the unique findings of a case of gastroduodenal intussusception caused by an underlying gastric GIST and complicated with severe acute pancreatitis.

Vaccine-related axillary nodal enlargement is a common benign condition that many mRNA vaccine receivers experience. However, a false attribution of axillary swelling to vaccination may result in delay in cancer care and potential disease progression, particularly in breast cancer patients presenting with ipsilateral axillary lymphadenopathy. We report the case of a 41-year-old pre-menopausal female who presented with suspicious axillary nodal enlargement and a right breast lump (triple-negative invasive ductal carcinoma) after recent administration of the second dose of Moderna mRNA coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. On imaging, bilateral axillary lymph nodes were detected. The ipsilateral rightsided node was proven to be metastatic, whereas contralateral nodes were related to a recent mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. Right-sided lymph node had intense uptake (maximum standardized uptake value [SUVmax] = 5), while the contralateral reactive nodes were mildly avid (SUVmax = 2.6). On magnetic resonance imaging, the right-sided node revealed asymmetric cortical thickening and marked cortical enhancement as opposed to normalappearing left-sided nodes.
