Case description

Resection remains the standard treatment for non-metastatic GISTs. These tumors may have a pseudocapsule and should be removed. Complete resection of GIST is not curative as recurrence is quite common. In patients with local disease, the recurrence rate is 35%. A major diagnostic criterion of GISTs is expression of CD117 and additional criteria include CD34, SMA, S100 and desmin.
