The gastrointestinal stromal tumour, abbreviated GIST, is an uncommon tumour of the gastrointestinal tract.

General

Definition

  • Tumour resulting from a mutation in the Kit gene or PDGFRA (Platelet-derived growth factor receptor, alpha polypeptide) gene.[1]

Epidemiology

  • Arise from Interstitial cells of Cajal.[1]

May be familial/syndromic:[2]

Treatment

Factors predictive of malignant behaviour

Features suggesting a bad prognosis:[1]

  • Large size.
    • Often benign if small size.
  • High mitotic rate (for area 5mm^2).
  • Site - small intestine GISTs worse than stomach GISTs.

Small intestine bad prognosis:[1]

  • >5 mitoses/5 mm^2 or size >10 cm.

Stomach bad prognosis:[1]

  • >5 mitoses/5 mm^2 and size >5 cm.

Location

Most common locations in order:[1]

  • 60% in stomach.
  • 35% in small intestine.
  • 5% elsewhere.

Notes:

  • Small intestinal GISTs have a worse prognosis than gastric ones.[1]
  • GISTs almost never metastasize to the lymph nodes.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Classically, spindle cell morphology ~ 50% of tumours.[4]
    • May be epithelioid (round) ~40% of tumours.
    • Mixed epithelioid and spindle cell tumours ~10% tumours.
  • +/-Cytoplasmic inclusions.[5]
  • Classically splits the layers of the muscularis propria - as this is where the interstitial cells of Cajal are located.[6]
  • +/-Skenoid fibres - extracellular collagen bundles[7] ~ 2-5 x 60 micrometers - uncommon finding.

IHC

  • CD34 +ve in 70%.[1]
  • CD117 +ve in 95%.[1]
  • Desmin +ve in 5%.[1]
  • DOG1 +ve.[10]
    • More sensitive than CD117.

IHC work-up panel

  • S-100 (neural tumours, rarely +ve in GISTs[1]).
  • CD34, CD117 (GIST).
  • Desmin (muscle tumours).

Molecular tests

See Molecular_pathology_tests#Other.
  • Sequence Kit gene, PDGFRA gene.
    • Kit gene sequencing is being done more frequently as of late-- if a mutation is found it suggest the drug imatinib will be effective.
    • Exon 11 mutation associated with malignant behaviour.[11]

Sign out

Staging

  • The stage is primarily determined by the tumour size and mitotic grade.
    • In the stomach, the mitotic grade determines whether a given tumour is Stage I or Stage III.[12]
