Abstract:
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours are characteristically positive for KIT (reflective of the c-KIT gene). A case is reported of an apparent rapidly growing gastrointestinal stromal tumour, which arose in the floor of the mouth and metastasized to the left neck without evidence of disease elsewhere.
