We present our experience in the treatment of 18 patients affected by gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) from January 1988 to march 2002. The ratio M.F was of 2:1 and the median age of 68.6 years. In 13 patients the tumours were located in the stomach while in 5 patients in the jejunum ileum area. In 7 patients the neoplasms were malignant. All the patients were operated and in 11 patients a partial gastric resection was carried out. 2 patients had a total gastrectomy and 5 had a small bowel resection. The diagnostic and therapeutic options and the uncertain prognosis of these neoplasms are discussed.
