    Author: Kim JM, Yoon YH, Lee KH, Kim JH.

    Abstract:
    Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumours of the gastrointestinal tract. GISTs are predominant in the stomach and intestine, and rarely occur in the oesophagus. A GIST in the posterior mediastinum usually arises from the oesophagus, but single case of gastric GIST in the posterior mediastinum is reported. We present a case of a posterior mediastinal malignant GIST which was likely of gastric origin. The patient had no recurrence for 5 years after a complete resection.
