Abstract

Gastroinstestinal stromal tumors are common mesenchymatic neoplasies of the stomach and of the small intestine. They appear less frecuent in other parts of he digestive track and are considered to be frankly malignants due to their methastasis' frecuency and the invasion to adjacent structures. A white race patient of 65 years old is presented in the Doctor's Consultation with an epigastric pain of two months of evolution, digestive dissorders, decay, and lose of weight. It was performed an abdominal ultrasound, an axial computed tomography and x-rays of estomach and of duodenun as well. It is worth pointing out the importance of having done an integral, clinical, imageneological and histological study in these patients with gastric tumors, to whom was diagnosed a stromal tumor.
