GIANT STROMAL TUMOR OF THE DUODENUM: RARE CLINICAL CASE AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Main Article Content
Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors -GIST was at first attributed to Cajal's cells, in mesodermal tissue but it has nowadays been recognized that GISTs arise from multipotential mesenchymal stem cells. GISTs typically occur in older adults, and the median patient age in the major series has varied between 60–65 years. GISTs are relatively rare under the age 40 of years. GISTs inn the stomach occur in 60%, 30% in the jejunum or ileum, 5% in the duodenum, 5% in the rectum, and <1% in the esophagus. Duodenal GIST comprises 10%-20% of small-intestinal GISTs. Giant duodenal GIST are rarely. We report a giant duodenal GIST and review of literature.
