GIST FactoidsGIST Factoids Most common mesenchymal neoplasm of the GI tract

Stomach (60-70% ), small intestine (20-25%), colon/rectum (5%) and esophagus ( %)(<5%)

85-95% have c-KIT mutation

Additional markers : smooth muscle actin (20-30%), and s100 protein

Main factors associated with malignant potential: tumor size, mitotic rate and primary location (small intestinal > stomach)

EUS tumor size (>4 cm), irregular extraluminal border, heterogeneity, echogenic foci cystic spaces greater than 4 mm and enlarged lymph nodes werefoci, cystic spaces greater than 4 mm and enlarged lymph nodes were associated with malignancy

EUS-FNA: sensitivity and specificity; 82% &100%, with an accuracy of 86%. Onsite presence of a cytopathologist to confirm the adequacy of tissue samples, gastric vs. duodenal lesion location and lesion size significantly influence diagnostic yield.

The GI tract is the most common site for extra pelvic The GI tract is the most common site for extra pelvic endometriosis infiltration.

The endometriotic implants are hypoechoic or heterogeneous crescent shaped lesions, involving the serosa and the muscularis propria layers of the rectal wall, sparing the mucosal layers.

Th h t EUS f th i l t i The heterogeneous EUS appearance of the implants is caused by the presence of “chocolate cysts” that result from hemorrhage within the implant.

Malignant potential

Current recommendation is to avoid FNA of perirectal cysts due to concerns regarding abscess formation even with prophylactic antibiotic use, as highlighted in one patient who subsequently required percutaneous drainage [1].

Complete intact surgical excision is advised to avoid the potential risk of needle-tract seeding, infection, and fistula formation [2].
