Diagnosis is based on histological and immunohistochemical examination characterized by c-kit (CD117,CD34) staining. Objective: To present diversity of presentations of this disease and treatment protocols based on 4 variety of presentations in our case studies. Materials and Methods: We present an analysis of clinical presentation and course, surgical management and pathological features of 4 patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors treated in our institution. Result: Our results confirm that in stromal tumors complete surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment in localized gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
