Abstract

Extragastrointestinal stromal tumor (EGIST) has been reported to occur only rarely, and the cases of this disease appearing as cystic masses are also known to be very infrequent. Along with a review of the related articles, we report here on a case of EGIST arising from the omentum that was seen as a multiloculated large cystic mass with multiple thick septa and a solid component.
