Core Tip

Core Tip: Duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors are an uncommon subset of small intestinal tumors and may pose surgical challenges in curative-intent resection. I herein discuss the outcomes of current surgical resection techniques of duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors. A range of surgical armamentarium is therefore necessary to deal with this uniquely located duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumor of varied sizes and degree of invasion into the surrounding structures.
