The Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) of a Pancreatic Cyst

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...

description 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.
