چکیده
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are rare, representing less than 1% of all gastrointestinal tumors. However, this is the most frequent nonepithelial neoplasm of the digestive tract. Mean age at diagnose is 58 years old, and the two structures usually involved are stomach and bowel12. The main symptoms are abdominal pain and digestive bleeding2, while the most frequent presentation are solid tumors11. Diagnose is confirmed by histology and imunohistochemistry analyses, followed by CD117 analyze which is positive in about 95% of cases7. The preferred initial treatment is surgical excision. Recently, the introduction of imatinib mesylate, a monoclonal antibody, has brought great advances in the adjuvant therapy for these patients, especially in tumor control when the primary lesion was locally advanced9. This is a case of gastric GIST predominantly cystic with negative c-Kit, but CD-34 positive, successfully treated by laparoscopic surgery.

Desmin 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. ...
متن کاملC-Kit-Negative Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor in the Stomach
C-kit-negative gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are uncommon, and there have been few reports about the diagnosis and treatment of c-kit-negative GISTs in the stomach. We report the case of a patient who was diagnosed with a huge and atypical GIST in the stomach. The GIST was completely resected and finally diagnosed as c-kit-negative GIST based on immunohistochemical staining of tumor c...

We report a case of a 38-yr-old man with a spontaneously ruptured gastric stromal tumor presenting as hemoperitoneum in outpatient clinic. He visited our hospital with generalized abdominal pain after abdominal CT scan for the evaluation of the asymptomatic palpable abdominal mass. Repeated abdominal CT scan showed a size decrement of cystic mass compared with the previous abdominal CT scan, an...
متن کاملHistological and Immunological Evaluation of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) constitute the majority of gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors. They usually express a proto-oncogen protein called CD117 detected by immunohistochemistry. This study investigated the differentiation of GISTs as well as the risk of aggressive behaviors in GISTs from surgically-treated patients in university affiliated hospitals. Methods: The c...

INTRODUCTION Cystic lesions of the upper abdomen normally develop from pancreatic tissue. The differential diagnoses include neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions. Pseudocystic tumors that secondarily involve the pancreas are very rare and may lead to diagnostic pitfalls. CASE PRESENTATION A 51-year-old woman and a 65-year-old man, both German, presented with abdominal cystic lesions suspecte...
