Introduction. Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is most often locate in the region of the stomach and the proximal part of the small intestine. Aim. The multiple histopathological examination is described. Description of the case. Multiple GISTs are rare neoplasms that originate from the interstitial cells are described. Conclussion. GIST can occur in any part of the gut, they are most common in the stomach and small intestine, and less frequent in the colorectum and esophagus. Although their pathogenesis and clinical manifestations are different, these tumor syndromes confer a high risk for developing multiple neoplasms.

AbstractGastrointestinal stromal tumor is a rare pathology. GISTs account for 0.3-1% of all tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, this type of cancer is the most common, malignant, non-epithelial tumor of the gastrointestinal tube. Over 90% of GISTs are found in the stomach and small intestine. This cancer usually develops without characteristic clinical symptoms and is diagnosed incidentally.This clinical situation, in which the first symptom of a GIST-pattern tumor includes a fully-symptomatic, non-complicated umbilical hernia, is an unprecedented anomaly.This work presents a case report of a 77-year old female patient undergoing elective surgery, in which the contents of the hernial sac included a stromal tumor. Disseminated, multi-focal progression of the disease was found intraoperatively.Postoperative histopathology and immunohistochemistry revealed a gastrointestinal stromal tumor GIST of the spindle cell type, showing a CD-117, CD-34, SMA expression with possible starting point in the small intestine.
