description Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are a type of mesenchymal tumors. They are rare in rectum. This location is a surgical challenge due to the high morbidity after aggressive surgeries. We present the case of an 81-year-old female with a high-grade GIST treated with transvaginal excision and adjunctive therapy with imatinib. The postoperative period was uneventful without anal dysfunction. Within the types of surgical treatment available, transvaginal excision is an acceptable procedure in lesions located in the rectovaginal region.
