To elucidate the prognosis of women with non-gastric primary gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) are mesenchymal tumors arising from gastrointestinal tract, mesentery, or omentum. They took up about 3% of gastrointestinal malignancies. Although rarely, the clinical presentation of non-gastric GIST might mimick ovarian cancer, and would be managed by gynecologists. Therefore, retrospective review of female non-gastric GIST cases will be performed to investigate the clinical outcome of non-gastric GIST. The result of this study might be used as an important reference for gynecologists.
