Kurzfassung:
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare in the canine species. The aim of this study was to describe a case of GIST in a ten-year-old female Beagle with appetite loss, hypodipsia and hematochezia. Clinically, a mass within the lumen of an intestinal loop was detected through ultrasonography. An intraluminal nodule within the jejunum was surgically resected. Microscopically, this nodule was composed by interlacing bundles of spindle-shaped neoplastic cells of mesenchymal origin. Neoplastic cells were immunopositive for KIT, s-100 and vimentin and were negative for desmin and muscle actin, which are markers for tumors arising from smooth muscle. Histological findings and specially the immunolabeling for KIT helped establish the diagnosis of GIST.
