Arch Surg. 2008;143(3):305-308.

Gastrointestinal (GI) stromal tumors are mesenchymal tumors that arise from the GI tract. In rare cases, these tumors are found in intra-abdominal sites unrelated to the GI tract and are immunohistochemically similar to their GI tract counterparts. Primary pancreatic GI stromal tumors are very rare, with only 4 previous cases reported.
