Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the digestive tract (80%). The stomach is the most commonly affected organ. Complete resection of the tumor is the only curative treatment. The size and number of mitoses are parameters to determine the prognosis and the use of adjuvant therapies. Although sometimes the GIST is giant it should be completely resected and if possible the stomach reconstructed to preserve function and quality of life.
