Abstract:
Due to the lack of typical symptoms and imaging findings, gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is easy to be misdiagnosed as other gastric tumors clinically. In clinical practice, clinicians should adopt the multidisciplinary team model, fully understand the characteristics of gastric GIST, grasp the key points of its differential diagnosis from other gastric tumors to achieve precise diagnosis and treatment. This paper analyzes the causes of misdiagnosis and elucidates the differential diagnosis of gastric GIST, aiming to improve the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis, reduce the misdiagnosis, and improve treatment outcomes.
