It is not universally agreed whether gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are phenotypical variants of leiomyomas (LM) and leiomyosarcomas (LMS), or whether they belong to a separate phenotypic entity with a different genetic background. This is a summary of our published results from comparat...
