DOMINGUEZ CORDOVES, Janet et al. Intestinal stromal tumor. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2008, vol.47, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2945.

Stromal tumors are a type of neoplasias of various lines of differentiation and of very diverse clinical behavior. They are mesenchymatous tumors originated on the muscular wall of hollow viscera. Due to their low incidence, a few series have been published. It is also known the difficulty to predict their risk for metastasizing. The criteria to determine the malignancy degree of the stromal tumors have not been clearly defined. That's why, the surgical treatment of these lesions is controverted. Generally, it is recommended the complete but limited resection of these tumors, taking into account the minor technical complexity, the lower morbidity and the prognosis identical to that of the wider resections.

Palabras clave : Tumor; stromal; mesenchymatous.
