Extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the pancreas: case report and a review of the literature

Shayna L Showalter et al. Arch Surg. 2008 Mar.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal (GI) stromal tumors are mesenchymal tumors that arise from the GI tract. In rare cases, these tumors are found in intra-abdominal sites unrelated to the GI tract and are immunohistochemically similar to their GI tract counterparts. Primary pancreatic GI stromal tumors are very rare, with only 4 previous cases reported.
