Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare connective tissue lesions with debated origins and classifications. This review clarifies diagnostic criteria and proposes a classification for these heterogeneous tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are uncommon neoplasms originating from the gut's connective tissue.
  • Their histogenesis, diagnosis, prognosis, and nomenclature have been subjects of extensive debate.
  • While some GISTs are well-differentiated (e.g., leiomyoma), most represent a heterogeneous group with varying differentiation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on GISTs.
  • To analyze criteria for differentiating benign from malignant GISTs.
  • To propose a working classification for GISTs.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review.
  • Analysis of personal experience.
  • Evaluation of diagnostic and prognostic criteria.

Main Results:

  • GISTs exhibit diverse cellular morphologies (spindle, epithelioid) and differentiation features (myoid, neural, ganglionic).
  • Distinguishing between benign and malignant GISTs requires careful assessment of specific criteria.
  • A proposed classification aims to standardize the understanding of these lesions.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate classification of GISTs is crucial for patient management.
  • Further research is needed to refine diagnostic and prognostic tools for GISTs.
  • A standardized approach will improve consistency in reporting and treatment.
