DOI: 10.1111/his.13049
Abstract: Recent literature suggests that clinically silent, microscopic gastrointestinal stromal tumours (micro‐GISTs) are common incidental findings. The aim of this study was to examine the histological, immunohistochemical and molecular characteristics of these tumours, which we have… read more here.
