Giant exophytic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) causing gastric outlet obstruction: case report and review of literature

We present the case of a middle-aged patient diagnosed with a giant gastric GIST, which presented for intermittent gastric outlet obstruction symptoms, and emphasize the major imagistic, histopathological, and therapeutic challenges that may be encountered. There are only several cases of gastric exophytic gastric GIST provoking intermittent gastric outlet obstruction. Tumor resection should be adapted to every patient's status, focused on en bloc extraction, with preservation of invaded organs as much as possible.PMID:38184841 | PMC:PMC10863695 | DOI:10.47162/RJME.64.4.17
