Popis: Gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) is a malignant tumour of the gastrointestinal lobe tissue, which mostly occurs in the gastrointestinal tract. Clinical manifestations can range from being benign to malignant. It mainly occurs in the gastric and small intestine. It may also develop in the colon, oesophagus, and bowel membranes, or outside the gastrointestinal tract and intestines. The pathological diagnosis of GIST depends on morphological measurements and immunohistochemistry. We report an interesting case in which the patient’s gastroscopy indicated gastric malignant tumours, and the results of the contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the upper abdomen showed malignant stomach tumour accompanied by liver metastasis. After the patient knew about this diagnosis, she wanted to give up treatment. Finally, the gastric biopsy suggested positive CD34, CD117, DOG1, and Ki-67, which supported the diagnosis of GIST. We hope that, through this case, we could improve clinicians’ understanding of GIST and improve its diagnosis and treatment.
