The gastrointestinal stromal tumour, abbreviated GIST, is an uncommon tumour of the gastrointestinal tract.
General
Definition
- Tumour resulting from a 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.
- Carney-Stratakis syndrome - GISTs and paraganglioma - due to mutation in the genes for succinate dehydrogenase.[3]
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 5mm2).
- Site - small intestine GISTs worse than stomach GISTs.
Small intestine bad prognosis:[1]
- >5 mitoses/5 mm2 or size >10 cm.
Stomach bad prognosis:[1]
- >5 mitoses/5 mm2 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.[4]
- May be epithelioid (round) ~40% of tumours.
- Mixed epithelioid and spindle cell tumours ~10% tumours.
- +/-Cytoplasmic inclusions[5] - perinuclear.[6]
- Classically splits the layers of the muscularis propria - as this is where the interstitial cells of Cajal are located.[7]
- +/-Skenoid fibres - extracellular collagen bundles[8] ~ 2-5 x 60 micrometers - uncommon finding.
- Not seen in gastric GISTs.[9]
- 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.
- Epstein-Barr virus-associated smooth muscle tumour - very uncommon, in immunoincompetent individuals.[10]

Intestinal spindle cell GIST - very high mag. (WC/Nephron)
Epithelioid GIST - intermed. mag. (WC/Nephron)
IHC
- CD117 +ve in 95%.[1]
- Mast cells are the internal positive control.
- DOG1 +ve.[11]
Others:
IHC 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.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumour staging
Main article: Gastrointestinal stromal tumour staging
GIST has its own staging.
Sign out
STOMACH (MASS), LESSER CURVE, WEDGE RESECTION: - GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMOUR (GIST). -- MARGINS NEGATIVE FOR GIST. COMMENT: The tumour stains as follows: POSITIVE: CD117, CD34. NEGATIVE: Desmin, S-100.
SMALL BOWEL (ILEUM), RESECTION: - GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMOUR (GIST), LOW-GRADE, NO RISK OF PROGRESSIVE DISEASE. -- MARGINS NEGATIVE FOR GIST. -- PLEASE SEE TUMOUR SUMMARY. - THREE BENIGN LYMPH NODES. COMMENT: The tumour stains as follows: POSITIVE: CD117, CD34. NEGATIVE: Desmin, S-100. PROLIFERATION (Ki-67): <1%.
Staging
- The stage is primarily determined by the tumour size and mitotic grade.
- In the stomach, the mitotic grade determines whether a given tumour is Stage I or Stage III.[15]
Micro
The sections show a spindle cell lesion that is well-circumscribed and without significant nuclear pleomorphism. No lymphocytic cuff is surrounding the lesion. The lesion is focally seen at the inked soft tissue margin. Three mitoses are seen in 5 mm*mm.
