V-011 * gastrointestinal stromal tumour of the oesophagus in the aortopulmonary window operated from the right side

Conclusions GISTs are rare malignant tumours of the oesophagus. Enucleation of the tumour without resection of the oesophagus is justified in tumours up to 4 cm and low malignant potential. Even left-sided tumours can be operated from the right side by VATS. Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.
