Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) occurring outside the gastrointestinal tract is uncommon. When GIST is found outside the gastrointestinal tract, it has greater possibility to be diagnosed with metastatic lesion from other primary focus. But it rarely occurs in extragastrointestinal tract primarily, and then even outside abdomen. We experienced one case of GIST occurred from right buttock area of 25 year-old man. We could not find out the primary focus in abdomen. The tumor was developed inside gluteus medius and minimus and extended to pelvic inner area destroying iliac bone and adjacent sacrum. Here, we report the case of GIST with terminology of extragastrointestinal stromal tumor (EGIST).

In a 43-year-old Korean man who underwent radical gastrectomy due to a malignant stromal tumor, was found to have an enlarged Iymph node at transverse mesocolon. The Iymph node exhibited histologically necrotizing eosinophilic granuloma formed around a track containing sections of a nematode larva. The well preserved nematode sections revealed polymyarian muscle cells, Y-shaped lateral cord, a large excretory gland cell, intestine and eosinophilic cuticle. The nematode sections were identified as a larva of Anisnkis species In Korea, thIns is the first case of elrtragas trio into stinal anisakiasis.
