Gastrointestinal stromal tumour. Endoscopic view of an ulcerated gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST). GISTs are rare tumours that develop in mesenchymal tissue (muscle, connective tissues and bone) of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Symptoms include trouble swallowing (dysphagia), gastrointestinal haemorrhage or secondary tumours. Most occur in the stomach, where they have a lower malignant (cancerous) potential than tumours found elsewhere in the GI tract. | |
