Abstract
Majority of mesenchymal neoplasms of gastrointestinal tract are gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). EGISTs, are the neoplasms which overlaps their histologicaland immunohistological features with those of GISTs, and are found in the abdomen outside of the gastrointestinal tract with no connection to the gastric or intestinal wall. A case of EGIST is reported to show a rare differential diagnosis of an abdominal tumor (arising in abdomen adherent with uterus and appendix in a 66 years old women), emphasizing the proper treatment due to correct diagnosis.
Keywords: Extra gastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGIST), mesenchymal, imatinib.
