Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor with Pulmonary Metastasis

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is rare but is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. It is usually arises from the stomach and small intestine. We present a case of GIST treated with surgery and adjuvant imatinib mesylate for pulmonary metastasis.
