Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumour in the gastrointestinal tract. More than half of these originate in the stomach, the rest in the small intestine, colon, rectum and oesophagus, and rarely in the omentum.
Case report
A 48-year-old woman, with painful abdominal growth developing over two years. Radiological studies showed a heterogeneous solid lesion in the pelvis, so she underwent surgery and the omentum was resected, no evidence of a tumour was found in the gastrointestinal tract. The omentum measured 50 cm × 30 cm × 15 cm. Its surface was heterogeneous and showed multiple nodules of varying sizes. A microscopically diffuse pattern of spindle cells was observed, some of them epithelioid, with three mitoses in 50 high-power fields. The immunohistochemical study is positive for CD117 and DOG-1.
E-GIST should be considered for the differential diagnosis of patients with multinodular lesions in the omentum and mesentery.
