BACKGROUND/AIMS: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are a rare group of neoplasias of the gastrointestinal tract that have not yet been fully investigated. In this article the authors present the experience of an emergency surgery department in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with such neoplasms and discuss the approaches to these 'strange' tumors.
METHODS: A review of our 4-year experience in emergency surgery was performed and 9 patients were found with the diagnosis of GIST. The median follow-up was 32.3 (range 18-45) months.
RESULTS: 7 patients had evidence of gastrointestinal blood loss, 1 patient had abdominal pain, and the last patient had anorexia, vomiting and fever. Five tumors were located in the stomach and 4 in the small bowel. All the patients underwent complete resection. On histological examination 5 tumors were of myogenic origin, 1 was a gastrointestinal autonomic nerve tumor and 1 was a mixed neural-myoid tumor. The remaining 2 could not be differentiated. Of the 9 patients who underwent curative resections, 1 had a recurrence and died.
CONCLUSION: GIST treatment mainly involves surgical resection with the goal of complete removal which can be curative. The histologic grade and tumor size are the most important prognostic factors.
