Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, but they have been rarely reported in the esophagus. The authors present the case of an esophageal GIST and discuss the diagnostic course and therapeutic options, as currently reported in the literature.

Key Words: esophageal GIST • esophagus • benign tumor • immunohistochemistry
