ABSTRACT
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) are rare mesenchymal tumours, comprising 1% of all GI malignancies. This is a report of a middle-aged man diagnosed with GIST of the duodenum. He had gastrojejunostomy and para-aortic lymph node biopsy for histology. He was subsequently commenced on 5- fluorouracil but with little response.
Keywords: Gastrointestinal tract, stromal tumour.
