GISTs can be asymptomatic or present with various non-specific signs, depending on the location and size of tumor, such as loss of appetite, anemia, weight loss, fatigue, abdominal discomfort or fullness, nausea, vomiting, as well as an abdominal mass, blood in stool, and intestinal obstruction. GISTs can also be seen in familial syndromes such as Carney triad and neurofibromatosis type 1. **Genetic basis** Yes **Non-human condition** No **Rare disease** Yes **Listing at source** Listed **Condition name** Gastrointestinal stromal tumor **Therapeutic area** Gastroenterology ### Alternative names (13) -
