Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are uncommon mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, originating from the interstitial cells of Cajal. GISTs can arise anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly in the stomach (50%-60% of cases) or the small intestine (30%-40%), while they are rarely observed in the gastrointestinal tract. esophagus and colon.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are uncommon tumors of the gastrointestinal tract with distinctive clinical, genetic, and imaging features. Preoperative knowledge of risk stratification and mutation status is important to guide appropriate patient management. Predicting the clinical behavior and biological malignancy of GISTs based on conventional computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessments is challenging, unless the lesion has metastasized at the time of diagnosis. diagnostic point.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor is a rare type of cancer that affects the digestive tract or nearby structures in the abdomen. From the onset, the disease sometimes silently shows no symptoms, but sometimes causes the patient's health to deteriorate, metastasize to adjacent organs quickly.
