We report the preoperative imaging findings of a 75 year old man with a large tumor of the lower abdomen. Computed tomography showed a large intraabdominal mass. In the differential diagnosis a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) or a metastasis of an unknown primary neoplasia were considered. Histology confirmed the diagnosis of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).
