Large exophytic GIST : Can invade pancreas liver diaphragm.
importance of calcification in Gastro intestinal tumour
The incidence of calcification is seen more commonly in MUCINOUS tumour
Sporadic gist are known to develop – and – type of tumours
Synchronous and metachronous malignancies.
Differential diagnosis of gastric MESENCHYMAL masses by locations
Smooth muscle arising: Leiomyoma and Leiomyosarcoma
Neural tissue arising : SHWANNOMA, malignant, peripheral nerve tumour, neurofibroma, neuro endocrine tumour, carcinoid carcinosarcoma
Connective tissue cells arising : fibromatosis or desmoid, solitary, fibrous tumour, inflammatory, fibroid, polyp
Other. : ANGIOSARCOMA, clear cell, SARCOMA, lipo, SARCOMA
