Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors of the alimentary tract. Now a day GISTs represents 0.1-3% of all gastrointestinal malignancies, making it a diagnostic challenge. Lesions are frequently located in stomach and proximal small intestine but rarely elsewhere in the abdomen. They are believed to result from mutations of protooncogenes c-Kit or platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha polypeptide, this increase tyrosine kinase receptor activity, leading to uncontrolled proliferation of stem cells that differentiate into cells of Cajal. They can occur at any age but predominantly in middle-aged people and in elderly. We reported the cases presented to our hospital with progressively distension of the abdomen, finding in diagnostic image suggested GIST without evidence of metastasis disease, total excision was done, Cytologic and immunohistochemistry analysis confirm diagnosis of GISTs.
