===Definition===
===Definition===
*Mutation in the Kit gene or PDGFRA (Platelet-derived growth factor receptor, alpha polypeptide) gene.<ref name=pmid17090188/>
*Tumour resulting from a mutation in the KIT gene ''or'' PDGFRA (Platelet-derived growth factor receptor, alpha polypeptide) gene.<ref name=pmid17090188/>
*Cases wild-type for KIT or PDFGRA may harbour defects in the [[succinate dehydrogenase]] complex, NF-1, BRAF, or extremely rarely KRAS.

<pre>
STOMACH (MASS), LESSER CURVE, WEDGE RESECTION:
- GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMOUR (GIST).
-- MARGINS NEGATIVE FOR GIST.
COMMENT:
The tumour stains as follows:
POSITIVE: CD117, CD34.
NEGATIVE: Desmin, S-100.
</pre>
<pre>
SMALL BOWEL (ILEUM), RESECTION:
- GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMOUR (GIST), LOW-GRADE, NO RISK OF
  PROGRESSIVE DISEASE.
-- MARGINS NEGATIVE FOR GIST.
-- PLEASE SEE TUMOUR SUMMARY.
- THREE BENIGN LYMPH NODES.
COMMENT:
The tumour stains as follows:
POSITIVE: CD117, CD34.
NEGATIVE: Desmin, S-100.
PROLIFERATION (Ki-67): <1%.

====Incidental GIST====
<pre>
Partial Stomach, Sleeve Gastrectomy:
- Stomach wall with incidental GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMOUR (GIST), 2 mm in maximal dimension.
-- Margin clear.
- Gastric mucosa within normal limits.
Comment:
The tumour stains as follows:
POSITIVE: DOG1, CD117, CD34.
NEGATIVE: desmin, S-100.
PROLIFERATION (Ki-67): <2%.
</pre>
===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.<ref>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Coccolini | first1 = F. | last2 = Catena | first2 = F. | last3 = Ansaloni | first3 = L. | last4 = Pinna | first4 = AD. | title = Gastrointestinal stromal tumor and mitosis, pay attention. | journal = World J Gastroenterol | volume = 18 | issue = 6 | pages = 587-8 | month = Feb | year = 2012 | doi = 10.3748/wjg.v18.i6.587 | PMID = 22363128 }}</ref>
===Micro===
The sections show a spindle cell lesion that is well-circumscribed and without significant
nuclear pleomorphism. No lymphocytic cuff is surrounding the lesion.  The lesion is focally
seen at the inked soft tissue margin. Three mitoses are seen in 5 mm*mm.
