Summary edit

Description

Intermediate magnification micrograph of a gastrointestinal stromal tumour, commonly abbreviated GIST. H&E stain.

GISTs arise from the interstitial cells of Cajal which are found between the layers of the muscularis propria;[1] thus, GISTs are typically centred on the muscularis propria.

The tumour classically consists of spindle cells; however, it may have epithelioid cells as in this case. The diagnosis is confirmed with (positive) immunostains (CD34 and CD117).

The main differential diagnosis is leiomyoma.
