Neoplasms with histology and immunohistochemistry similar to gastrointestinal stromal tumors may occur primarily outside the gastrointestinal tract, usually in the omentum and mesentery. These are referred to as extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs). Retroperitoneum is a very rare site for such neoplasms. We report a patient with EGIST in the retroperitoneum, elaborating the cross-sectional imaging and histopathologic findings.

Histology And Immunohistochemistry

Background Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. More rarely neoplasms with histology and immunohistochemistry similar to GISTs may occur outside the gastrointestinal tract (omentum, mesentery and retroperitoneum) and are so-called Extra-gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (EGISTs). EGISTs arising in the retroperitoneum are extremely rare: to date, only 58 cases have been reported in the literature. Case Report We herein report a case of a primary EGIST of the retroperitoneum surgically treated. The pre-operative radiological evaluation showed a retroperitoneal mass, placed in left paravertebral region. Results Morphological and immunohistochemical features led to a diagnosis of extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor (intermediate-low risk form). Conclusions As a result of the rarity of reports of primary EGISTs of retroperitoneum we need to analyze the data of reported cases in order to gain a better understanding about the pathogenesis, prognosis and optimal treatment of this disease.

Extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs) are mesenchymal neoplasms without connection to the gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and EGIST are similar according to their clinicopathologic and histomorphologic features. Both of them most often express immunoreactivity for CD-117, a c-kit proto-oncogene protein. The coexistence of GIST and pregnancy is very rare, with only two cases reported in the literature. In this paper, we presented the first EGIST case during pregnancy in the literature.

Abstract Background Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are mesenchymal in origin, being derived from the interstitial cells of Cajal. These can be found anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract and are commonly found in the stomach followed by the small bowel. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are usually asymptomatic and are often found incidentally. Chronic bleeding is one of the most common presentation. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors presenting with massive gastro intestinal haemorrhage and mimicking arteriovenous malformation on radiology are rare with only few cases reported. Methods Herein we present such a case of a 45-year-old gentleman with massive gastro intestinal bleeding. At presentation, patient was in congestive heart failure due to severe anaemia with a hemoglobin of 2.9g/dL. CECT Angiography localised the bleed to be from a jejunal mass lesion with radiological features consistent with those of arteriovenous malformation. Patient underwent laparoscopy assisted resection and anastomosis. Results Histopathology examination revealed a low risk jejunal gastrointestinal stromal tumor with no evidence of arteriovenous malformation. The mass was removed completely and the patient was discharged on 5th post-operative day. Patient was followed up in the out-patient department and was found to be doing well. Conclusions Gastrointestinal stromal tumors though relatively uncommon should be kept as important differentials for acute torrential gastrointestinal bleeding. It is highlighted that a presentation of gastrointestinal stromal tumors similar to that of arteriovenous malformations on cross sectional imaging should be kept in mind. The present case is reported in hope of expanding the knowledge of a rare occurrence, its aetiology, clinical impact and treatment.

Extent Of Disease

Gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) tumours are best divided into two distinct groups when discussing their radiological imaging. First are the functioning insulinomas and gastrinomas, which are often small at presentation; imaging of these lesions is usually aimed at localization of the primary tumour (and exclusion of metastatic disease) with a view to surgical excision. Second are the nonfunctioning neoplasms and the functioning tumours—carcinoids being the most common—which secrete a variety of other hormones including glucagon, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, 5-hydroxytryptamine, somatostatin, serotonin, and pancreatic polypeptide. These are often large at presentation and are, therefore, obvious on cross-sectional imaging studies or have already metastasized; the role of the radiologist in this group is usually that of documenting the extent of disease to guide operative or nonoperative therapy. These two groups will be discussed separately.

Extragastrointestinal Stromal Tumor

Abstract Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are an uncommon sarcomas with mesenchymal origin that arises in the gastrointestinal tract. Recently, most of the published reports describe such tumors located outside of the gastrointestinal tract, with similar pathological characteristics and are named extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors. We report the case of a patient suffering for a giant retroperitoneal extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor, complicated with intra-tumoral hemorrhage. The particularity of this case is the presence of the intra-tumoral hemorrhage in a retroperitoneal extragastrointestinal stromal tumor that grew rapidly in volume (in 1 week).
