    Abstract:
    Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) arising at sites other than the alimentary tract are rare, and they are called extra-GISTs (EGISTs). We report a case of a large EGIST forming a cyst, probably arising in the mesentery of the transverse colon. A 64-year-old Japanese man presented to a hospital with an abdominal tumor forming a large cyst. Intraoperatively, the tumor was neither present in nor in contact with the alimentary tract. It was present in the mesentery of the transverse colon and was attached to the greater omentum and peritoneum, immediately anterior to the body of the pancreas. The tumor was resected with the spleen and a part of the pancreas. Histological examination of the tumor revealed that it belonged to the high-risk category of cystic EGISTs.
