    Abstract:
    Duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (D-GISTs) are uncommon and account for 3-5% of all GISTs. Currently, no established surgical strategy for D-GISTs exists, which mostly depends on tumor size, relation to the ampulla and invasion of the adjacent organ. We report a case of large D-GIST resected by robotic distal gastrectomy. A 62-year-old woman was diagnosed with a 5-cm D-GIST located at posterior wall of the duodenal bulb. Computed tomography findings indicated possible tumor invasion of the pancreas head. Robot-assisted distal gastrectomy was firstly planned and pancreatoduodenectomy was also considered when the tumor was invading to the pancreas. Although tumor was tightly adherent to the pancreas, it could be dissected from the pancreatic head without capsule damage and resected by robotic distal gastrectomy with no postoperative complication. The large D-GIST tightly adherent to the pancreas could be resected by efficiency of the robotic surgery.
