Abstract
Abstract
There is evolving literature on similarities and differences between GIST and EGIST. Despite their behavioural similarities, results cannot be generalised to larger population due to lack of evidence. Pancreatic GIST is a rare entity. There are many documented case reports, however long term data is unavailable. Our case series is by far the largest single centre series with long follow up data but with limited number of cases. Survival values cannot be generalised due to limited data. Large case series are required to further understand the disease biology and long term outcomes of pancreatic GIST.
