Abstract: | We report a case of giant gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) of the stomach of 17 cm in diameter detected in an 88-year-old
Caucasian female. An en-block resection of the mass requiring gastric and transverse colon resection was carried out. Pathological
examination evidenced a smooth multycistic giant gastric GIST measuring 17 × 13 × 9 and weighing 1,630 g. At immunohistochemistry,
the specimen was c-kit positive, CD34-positive, SMA-negative S100-negative, desmin-negative, CD31-negative, HMB45-negative,
and calponin-negative. It was diagnosed as an uncommitted GIST at high risk for malignancy. |
