Gastrointestinal stromal tumors: computed tomographic features and prediction of malignant risk from computed tomographic imaging.
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are specific, generally Kit (CD117)-positive, mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract encompassing a majority of tumors previously considered gastrointestinal smooth muscle tumors. Our aim was to characterize the computed tomographic findings and predict malignant risk from computed tomography for the evaluation of GISTs. METHODS The...
متن کاملCurrent management and prognostic features for gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST)
Stromal or mesenchymal neoplasms affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract have undergone a remarkable evolution in how they are perceived, classified, approached, diagnosed and managed over the last 30 years. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) account for approximately 1% to 3% of all malignant GI tumors. The clinical features can vary depending on the anatomic location, size and aggressiv...
متن کاملDuodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumor: From clinicopathological features to surgical outcomes.
Duodenal gastrointestinal tumors represent an extremely rare subset of stromal tumors arising from interstitial cells of Cajal. In the last 30 years the comprehension of the pathophysiology and natural history of this previously misunderstood clinical entity, in association with developments in endoscopy, imaging technology, and immunohistochemistry has resulted in novel diagnostic and treatmen...
متن کاملClinicopathologic Features and Clinical Outcomes of Esophageal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
Clinicopathologic features and clinical outcomes of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) in esophagus are limited, because of the relatively rare incidence of esophageal GISTs. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to investigate the clinicopathologic features and clinical outcomes of esophageal GISTs, and to investigate the potential factors that may predict prognosis.Esophageal GIST ...
متن کاملDesmin expression by a gastrointestinal stromal tumor in a dog
This report describes the histological and immunohistochemical features of a small intestinal tumor that resembled a human gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GISTs) in a seven-year-old male cross-breed dog. This was unique because of the expression of desmin by the tumor. Grossly, the white-gray tumor measured 8.0 × 4.0 × 6.5 cm and was 760 gram in weight. It was cystic and enveloped the jejunum. ...
