The gastrointestinal stromal tumour, abbreviated GIST, is an uncommon tumour of the gastrointestinal tract.
General
Definition
- Mutation in the Kit gene or PDGFRA (Platelet-derived growth factor receptor, alpha polypeptide) gene.[1]
Epidemiology
- Arise from Interstitial cells of Cajal.[1]
May be familial/syndromic:[2]
- Neurofibromatosis 1 (von Recklinghausen's disease).
- Carney triad.
- Familial GIST syndrome (several).
- Others.
Treatment
- Imatinib (Gleevec) - drug was developed for chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Factors predictive of malignant behaviour
Features suggesting a bad prognosis:[1]
- Large size.
- Often benign if small size.
- High mitotic rate (for area 5mm^2).
- Site - small intestine GISTs worse than stomach GISTs.
Small intestine bad prognosis:[1]
- >5 mitoses/5 mm^2 or size >10 cm.
Stomach bad prognosis:[1]
- >5 mitoses/5 mm^2 and size >5 cm.
Location
Most common locations in order:[1]
- 60% in stomach.
- 35% in small intestine.
- 5% elsewhere.
Notes:
- Small intestinal GISTs have a worse prognosis than gastric ones.[1]
- GISTs almost never metastasize to the lymph nodes.
- Most common metastasis locations: liver, abdominal soft tissue.
Microscopic
Features:
- Classically, spindle cell morphology ~ 50% of tumours.[3]
- May be epithelioid (round) ~40% of tumours.
- Mixed epithelioid and spindle cell tumours ~10% tumours.
- +/-Cytoplasmic inclusions.[4]
- Classically splits the layers of the muscularis propria - as this is where the interstitial cells of Cajal are located.[5]
- +/-Skenoid fibres - extracellular collagen bundles[6] ~ 2-5 x 60 micrometers - uncommon finding.
- Not seen in gastric GISTs.[7]
- High specificity for GIST.
DDx
- Leiomyosarcoma.
- Leiomyoma - esp. in the esophagus.
- Neural tumours.
- Neurofibroma.
- Schwannoma (GFAP +ve).
- GFAP uniformly neg. in GISTs.[1]
- Desmoid-type fibromatosis.
Images:

- WC:
IHC
- CD34 +ve in 70%.[1]
- CD117 +ve in 95%.[1]
- Mast cells are the internal positive control.
ICH Work-up panel
- S-100 (neural tumours, rarely +ve in GISTs[1]).
- CD34, CD117 (GIST).
- Desmin (muscle tumours).
Molecular tests
- Sequence Kit gene, PDGFRA gene.
- Kit gene sequencing is being done more frequently as of late-- if a mutation is found it suggest the drug imatinib will be effective.
