Giant gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor: A case report

Despite the fact that luminal bleeding is the most common presentation, sometimes the tumor may grow exophytically without any symptoms. If large enough as observed in the present case, they may present to emergency department as intra-tumoral bleed. Surgical resection and neoadjuvant therapy with imatinib is equally advantageous even for giant GIST. Diagnosis and therapeutical protocol of GISTs should be established by a trans-disciplinary team.
