Case description

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are rare tumors
that may arise anywhere in the tubular gastrointestinal
tract, but stomach is the most common site of localization.
Surgery is the main stay of treatment and complete
resection is achieved in most of cases. The 5 year overall
survival ranges from 21% to 88% in different series,
depending from risk grading and completeness of surgical
resection.
