Mesenchymal tumors of the gallbladder are rarely encountered in clinical practice. The Gastrointestinal Stromal tumors(GIST) of the gallbladder are rarely encountered. These tumors most commonly arise from the interstitial cells of cajal(ICC), the pacemakers of the intestinal system. There can be benign as well as malignant form of GIST .The literature on GIST arising from the gallbladder wall is limited to few case reports only.on extensive search of the indexed literature only 9 cases of gallbladder GIST were retrieved. Based on the available literature these tumors are commonly found in females. They usually present with hypochondrial pain with or without other features of cholangitis. These tumors are usually malignant and warrant a radical surgical excision.The data on postoperative adjuvant therapy and survival is limited. The authors are presenting a review of the available literature on this rare pathology.

Mesenchymal Tumours

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are mesenchymal tumours of alimentary tract comprising 0.2% of gastrointestinal tumors and only 0.04% of small intestinal tumours. Jejunal GISTs are one of the rarest subtypes. GISTs display various morphological forms like spindle and epitheloid cells in a variety of patterns and can be submucosal, intramuscular or subserosal in location. Grossly they are solid and cyst with variable hemorrhage and necrosis. Most of the gastrointestinal stromal tumors have mutations in either KIT (CD117) or PDGFRα gene. DOG 1 is a sensitive and specic marker of GIST independent of CD117 or PGDFRα expression. Here we present a case of malignant jejunal GIST with missed diagnosis on CECT abdomen.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Intracranial metastasis of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) is rare but presents unique treatment challenges. We present a case of intracranial metastasis of GIST with a systematic review of the literature regarding this rare clinical scenario. METHODS: A systematic review of the literature was performed to identify cases of intradural GIST metastases to the brain. Additionally, a patient case of GIST is discussed. RESULTS: Out of the 18 articles included for analysis in this review and our present case, fifteen of nineteen patients were male, and mean age was 58 years old (range 15–80 years, median 60 years). The primary site of the GIST along with site of intraperitoneal metastasis was variable. There was a large predilection for brain metastasis to the cerebrum with only one to infratentorial elements. The tumors in seven of the cases involved the dura, and there was one case with metastasis to the pituitary. Eight patients died following treatment of their intracranial disease. CONCLUSIONS: Surgery remains the mainstay of intracranial metastatic GIST, however there are many reports of good responses to radiation or chemotherapy alone. More investigation is required to determine the best course of treatment for patients with this unusual sequela of GIST.

Gastric schwannoma (GS) is a rare neoplasm of the stomach. It accounts for 0.2% of all gastric tumors and is mostly benign, slow-growing, and asymptomatic. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors and up to 60-70% of GIST occur in the stomach. Schwannoma and GIST have similar radiological and endoscopic features making it extremely difficult to differentiate them preoperatively. Differential diagnosis of these two submucosal tumors is important because of the malignant potential of GIST and the relatively benign course of gastric schwannomas. This case stresses on the importance of including gastric schwannomas in the differential diagnosis of a submucosal gastric mass as it has the ability to mimic a gastrointestinal stromal tumor, which is a leading differential diagnosis because of its common occurrence at this site.
