Abstract

A gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the appendix is a rare entity. Only a few cases have been reported in this location to date. We present here a case of a pathologically confirmed gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the appendix mimicking a mucinous cystadenocarcinoma in a 67-year-old man.

위장관간질종양은 대부분 위에서 발생하며 충수돌기에서 발생하는 경우는 매우 드물다. 저자들은 점액성 낭선암종으로 오인한 충수돌기의 위장관간질종양 1예를 경험하였기에 영상 소견을 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
