Twenty-two cases with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) have been studied, sized from 2 cm to invasive gigantic tumors and also from low to high degree of malignancy. The altering of the form and the size of the nucleus is a reference point of malignancy, being used in the histological grading of many types of tumors and also as an appreciating parameter of the tumoral prognosis, with a high degree of accuracy in the colorectal, uterine, prostatic or ovarian cancers, as it was pointed in the previous researches. The aim of this study is to evaluate the dimensional characteristic of the nuclei and the mitosis in GIST with a cholic and gastric localization, attempting a quantitative differentiation of the two tumors, by studying the following aspects: nuclear dimensions, mitotic activity index and the mitotic density.
