ABSTRACT
Retroperitoneal neurilemoma is an often asymptomatic benign tumor that is usually discovered incidentally. We report a case of retroperitoneal neurilemoma diagnosed via endosonographically guided fine needle aspiration and emphasize the importance of obtaining a definite diagnosis before surgical treatment.

ABSTRACT
Immunohistochemical staining for CD 117 and morphologic features like mitotic activity are crucial respectively in diagnosing GI stromal tumours and in defining the risk of malignant behaviour in GISTs. In the case reported both requirements have been fulfilled through specimens obtained by transabdominal US-guided FNAB of a gastric submucosal tumour.
