Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the digestive tract.
These tumors are mostly localized in the stomach and small intestine. The particularity of these
tumors is related to the discovery on the surface of its cells of the expression of a growth receptor
with Tyrosine Kinase activity called C-kit. Our retrospective study focused on 5 cases of digestive
stromal tumors diagnosed, treated and followed in the department of visceral surgery (Wing 3) of
CHU IBN ROCHD of Casablanca. The aim of this work is to illustrate the clinical, paraclinical,
histopathological, prognostic, evolutionary and therapeutic characteristics of these tumors using 5
clinical observations and a general review of the literature.
