Abstract
GISTs are rare mesenchymal tumors and their preoperative diagnosis can be difficult. Certain less accessible anatomical locations, such as the duodenum and in particular at the level of D3 and D4, as well as the obtaining of biopsies which contribute little are in question. The surgical approach usually makes it possible to acquire a formal diagnosis and remains the cornerstone of treatment. Faced with any possibility of a GIST, even without histological diagnosis obtained, surgery should be encouraged.
