Kim, Kim, Lee, Choi, Kim, Kim, and Chu: Gastric malignant stromal tumor with long stalk impacted into duodenum

Abstract

Most GIST have traditionally been classified as submucosal origin by upper gastrointestinal series (UGIS) or endoscopy. However, we experienced a gastrointestinal mesenchymal origin tumor expressed by polypoid mass with a long stalk. The gastric outlet was obstructed by the polypoid mass on the duodenum. The microscopic findings of the resected mass showed a stromal cell component by immunohistochemical stain. We experienced gastric stromal tumor found as a polypoid mass with long stalk which was easily detected by endoscopy. It would not have been suspected as a stromal tumor as a result of endoscopic findings only.
