This case series illustrates CT appearances of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) involving the stomach, small intestine, mesentery, peritoneum and posterior mediastinum. GIST of the stomach is the commonest with majority having an exophytic growth, but it can also have an intra-luminal growth. Necrosis is a common feature of GIST irrespective of the location resulting in heterogenous enhancement on CT.
