Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) is a rare tumour of GI tract (0.2%). GIST arise from Interstitial cell of Cajal which intercalates between smooth muscle cells and intramural neuron. Stomach is the most common site followed by small bowel, rectum and colon. Commonly presents as abdominal pain, GI bleed, Intestinal obstruction and perforation. In spite of the impressive advances in the diagnosis and target therapy for GIST, surgery remains the standard treatment. We report a case of GIST originating from stomach in a 53 year male who presented with the mass abdomen and weight loss with emphasis on its going through surgical resection in our Institute.
