Dear Dr Varma The clinical manifestation of GISTs is highly variable. In some patients, small benign GISTs are discovered incidentally during radiologic evaluation as in your son for another condition. In contrast, other patients present with profound symptoms that reflect large or highly aggressive GISTs that invade adjacent organs and metastasize. As a result, GISTs have a wide spectrum of radiologic appearances. It is important to rule out the other pathology so more investigations are required. With regard J S Chowhan |
