RESUMO
Os tumores estromais gastrintestinais (GIST) são raros, de comportamento imprevisível, sendo a maioria assintomática ou com sintomas inespecíficos. Podem acometer qualquer local do tubo digestivo, sendo o tratamento padrão a ressecção cirúrgica completa, porém são frequentes as recidivas e metástases. O presente caso é um relato de uma paciente idosa com massa abdominal crescente e dolorosa ao exame físico, com resultado de exames complementares de imagem que sugerem tratar-se de GIST. Submetida à terapia cirúrgica para ressecção da lesão e seguimento com mesilato de imatinibe (Glivec®). (AU)
