- Abstract
The gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), although rare, are the most common malignant mesenchymal tumors. Most prevalent in the stomach and duodenum, these types of tumor usually are asymptomatic and often are diagnosed on imaging studies. Despite the genetic advances enabling the identification of specific mutations, the diagnosis is sometimes complicated due to its intra-mural site. Surgical resection of the lesion is the treatment of choice with curative potential. We describe a case of GIST of the esophagus treated surgically in department of Thoracic and Abdominal Surgery of the Hospital Erasto Gaertner.
