Mesenteric GIST: A case report
2018
The Journal of Medical Research
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) are rare tumours arising from the mesenchyme of gastrointestinal tract, mainly in the stomach and small intestine. Mesenteric GISTs are rarely reported as they constitute less than 1% of GIST. Good surgical clearance ensures good survival. Imatinib therapy postoperatively improves survival. Here, we report such a rare case of GIST arising from mesentery of small bowel presenting as an abdominal lump.
