Câncer gástrico de origem estromal: relato de caso
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST), despite rare, is the most common digestive tract mesenchymal tumor. Modern histogenesis studies have shown its stromal origin and not a muscular origin as it had been believed before. Diagnosis is made through immunohistochemical studies (CD- 117) and treatment is achieved with surgery followed by chemotherapy and has good results. The authors describe a case of gastric GIST discovered after upper gastrointestinal bleeding presentation, and treated successfully.
