Abstract

The gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a rare mesenchymal tumor. One should pay special attention when the GIST comes in obese patients during surgery. The laparoscopic resections with standard techniques, such as gastric bypass, have been described with good results. However, GIST resection associated sleeve gastrectomy for the treatment of obesity is rare, but can be done safely, depending on the location of the tumor.O tumor estromal gastrointestinal (GIST) é um tumor mesenquimal raro. Deve-se ter atenção especial quando o GIST apresenta-se em pacientes obesos durante o ato operatório. As ressecções laparoscópicas com técnicas padronizadas, como o bypass gástrico, têm sido descritos com bons resultados. Porém, a ressecção de GIST associada à gastrectomia vertical para o tratamento para a obesidade é rara, mas pode ser feito com segurança, dependendo da localização do tumor.
