Purpose: The duodenum as primary site for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) is rare and mitotic rate, tumor size, type of mutation and number of chromosomal aberrations have prognostic implications.
Methods: We analyzed the outcome of 13 patients with duodenal GISTs who underwent surgical tumor resection. Either segmental duodenectomy or pylorus-preserving duodenopancreatectomy was performed.
