Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) represent less than 1% of all gastro intestinal stromal tumors (GISTS) and are main in the stomach and small intestine. Mesenteric GIST is rarely reported as they constitute 5 to 10% of GIST. It originates from the intestinal cells of Cajal. GISTS that develops outside the gastrointestinal tract and have no connection with the intestinal wall or serosal surface of the gastrointestinal tubular organs. An extra-intestinal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGITS) they have similar morphological and immune-histological characteristics as GISTS. Surgical resection is the main stay of treatment. Post-operative use to imatinib, delay the recurrence and improves to survival rate. We report a rare case of mesenteric extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor (EGITS) in a 50 years old female and discuss the course of clinical presentation, diagnosis and management.
