Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) can arise from any site of the gastrointestinal tract. These tumors are known to originate from the interstitial cells of Cajal, located in the gastrointestinal mesenchyme.

description Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) can arise from any site of the gastrointestinal tract. These tumors are known to originate from the interstitial cells of Cajal, located in the gastrointestinal mesenchyme. In the case presented, a 37-year-old Caucasian male was admitted to our Surgery department with 2-month history of mild abdominal pain, early satiety and flatulence. The computed tomography revealed a huge mass in the left hepatic lobe consisting of both spindle and epithelial cells. Immunohistochemistry revealed strong CD117 positivity expression. Only a few other cases of liver GIST have been reported in the literature.
