ABSTRACT

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, accounting for 80% of all digestive mesenchymal tumors. It is widely accepted that GISTs arise from the interstitial cells of Cajal, and the term ‘stromal tumor’ was first introduced by Mazur and Clark in 1983.[1] The incidence of GISTs has been reported to range between 11 and 15 per million annually[2-4], and 60% of GISTs are located in the stomach, 30% in the jejunum or ileum, 5% in the duodenum and 4% in the colorectum. Extragastrointestinal GISTs (EGISTs) have been reported in the liver, omentum, mesentery, gallbladder and urinary bladder.[5-7]
