Abstract
Gastric stromal tumors display a bewildering array of immunohistological an d ultrastructural features as well as variable biological behavior. These t umors are rare as compared with ones that arise from the gastric epithelium . Moreover, they have been the subjects of controversy because of their unc ertain histogenesis, We report the pathological features of gastric stromal tumors we recently encountered in three patients.
