Article Synopsis
- Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common type of mesenchymal tumors in the gastrointestinal tract, often found in the stomach and can present with vague symptoms or be discovered accidentally during unrelated investigations.
- The diagnosis of GISTs relies on identifying specific cell types through cytology and immunohistochemical markers like CD117, as well as recognizing mutations in genes such as KIT and PDGFRA that guide treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
- Differentiating GISTs from other similar tumors like leiomyoma and schwannoma is essential; the grading based on mitotic rates helps in predicting the outcome, and the article provides a case study illustrating these diagnostic techniques.
