Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), nonepithelial, mesenchymal tumors arising from the interstitial cells of Cajal. The diagnostic tool for the GISTs is tyrosine kinase growth factor receptor (c-KIT / CD117) expression. They most commonly occur in the the stomach. Here we reported a rare case of GIST, presenting as a large cystic mass connected to the main tumor with a peduncle. A 44-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain and intestinal obstruction. Emergency laparatomy revealed a cystic mass of approximately 25 cm in diameter. The pathological diagnosis was gastrointestinal stromal tumor with cystic degenaration. Tumor contained areas of necrosis, high mitotic index, c-KIT positive and was large in diameter. Cystic GISTs have poor prognostic factors and patients should be followed closely in the postoperative period.
