title: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs): an imaging perspective.
abstract: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Computed tomography is the imaging modality of choice for diagnosing GIST. The aim of this retrospective study was to review the imaging features of 22 GIST cases. We also describe the clinical and pathological findings of this well-recognized entity.
