Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are mesenchymal tumours expressing a protooncogene protein called CD117 detected by immunohistochemistry. GISTs are rare and constitute about 1-3% of all gastrointestinal malignancies, nevertheless they are the commonest type of GI mesenchymal tumours. GISTs are usually discovered as an incidental finding during operation, abdominal imaging or during endoscopy.
