Abstract:
Although gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, they are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. The majority of these tumors occur in the stomach, but they could be found anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. A 72-year-old man presented with a large intra-abdominal mass. A Tru cut biopsy revealed features of a GIST. He underwent a resection of the intra-abdominal mass along with a partial gastrectomy and splenectomy. His postoperative course was uneventful.
