AbstractGastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most usual mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. Ever since the classification of GIST as an entity distinct from leiomyoma's, leiomyosarcomas, etc., there has been an increased concern in defining their imaging characteristics. It is estimated that approximately 5000-10,000 people are affected per year by this tumor all over the world. Most GISTs are benign (70-80%). However, these tumors have a spectrum ranging from benign to malignant lesions, depending on its anatomic site, tumor size, and mitotic frequency. We report a case of multiple malignant GIST with metastasis into Liver.
