Extra-gastrointestinal GISTs can occur in atypical locations such as the pelvis, which may mimic gynecologic malignancies, creating diagnostic challenges. This case report presents a 39-year-old female with a history of Type 1 diabetes mellitus and prior kidney and liver transplantation who presented with progressive abdominal bloating and discomfort. Initial pelvic ultrasound revealed a large right adnexal mass (18.8 × 12.8 × 9.8 cm), suggestive of an ovarian mass. CT imaging confirmed a complex pelvic tumor exerting mass effect on surrounding organs, initially concerning for gynecologic malignancy. Following an unrevealing endoscopic evaluation, the patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and tumor debulking. Intraoperative findings included a large right pelvic mass with extensive adhesions, friable tumor implants, and mesenteric lymphadenopathy. Postoperative pathology confirmed a high-grade GIST with epithelioid features, positive for DOG1 and CD117, with a Ki-67 index exceeding 30%. Molecular testing identified a KIT Exon 9 mutation, leading to initiation of imatinib therapy. Overall, this case represents an extra-GI/pelvic GIST that mimicked a primary ovarian neoplasm. We achieved a complete macroscopic cytoreduction (no gross residual disease) but explicitly note pT4 (due to intraoperative rupture), informing adjuvant KIT inhibition. This case emphasizes the diagnostic challenge of extra-GI/pelvic GISTs mimicking ovarian tumors. Studies show that GISTs mimicking primary ovarian tumors (GIST-OTs) typically occur in younger women, have lower recurrence rates (6.8% vs. 54.5% in metastatic ovarian GISTs), and achieve complete resection more frequently (> 90% vs. 57% in metastatic cases). Immunohistochemical profiling (DOG1 and CD117) and molecular testing are crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Although imatinib remains the cornerstone of GIST management, dose adjustments based on specific mutations may be necessary, as patients with KIT Exon 9 mutations might benefit from higher dosing. Multidisciplinary approaches combining imaging, histology, and molecular profiling are essential for optimizing outcomes in these complex cases. This extra-GI/pelvic GIST occurred under chronic posttransplant immunosuppression after renal and liver transplantation; as such, we highlight the transplant-oncology interface, notably, an elevated posttransplant cancer risk, rare but documented GIST after kidney transplant, and TKI-calcineurin-inhibitor interactions that require coordinated management.</p>","PeriodicalId":9636,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Oncological Medicine","volume":"2026 ","pages":"2158098"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12872037/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146123944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first case's pleural fluid cytology was positive for both CLL and adenocarcinoma, while the second patient was diagnosed with a biopsy from the right supraclavicular mass revealing carcinoma. In both patients, a flow cytometry of the peripheral smear confirmed the diagnosis of CLL. Both patients had a similar outcome of death due to complicated intracerebral metastatic disease with intracranial hemorrhage and vasogenic edema within 1-2 months of diagnosis. Although incompletely understood, CLL and lung cancer share some predisposing social and biological factors, of which smoking is the most evident. It is also thought that the immunocompromised state of CLL patients is a risk factor for SPMs, given qualitative and quantitative defects in almost all immune cell lines. The cytogenetic association has been suggested but has yet to be comprehensively explored. The proposed tumor factors include HER-2/neu overexpression in lung cancer cells and Trisomy 12 in B-cell clones, which neither of our patients had.
