| Summary: | <p>Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are rare tumors, constituting less than 3% of all gastrointestinal malignant neoplasms but are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Approximately 10% of gastrointestinal stromal tumors are extraintestinal and mostly arise from the mesentery or omentum. Here we report a rare case of an extraintestinal gastrointestinal stromal tumor of mesentery. Morphological and immunohistochemical features led to a diagnosis of extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor.</p><p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpn.v4i8.11610">http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpn.v4i8.11610</a></p> <p>Journal of Pathology of Nepal; Vol.4,No. 8 (2014) 682-684</p> |
