Sumario:Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare tumors and rarely occur outside of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. When GISTs originate from outside the GI tract, they are called extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs). In this article, we discuss a case of a 74-year-old woman who presented due to a growing pancreatic lesion on imaging and was subsequently diagnosed with pancreatic EGIST on endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration.
