Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) predominate in the stomach and small intestine but have rarely been documented in the esophagus. We report a rare case of GIST of the esophagus in a 47-year-old woman. Histologically, the tumors showed a combination of solid, myxoid, and perivascular collar-like patterns, with spindle and epithelioid cells. The tumor cells were positive for CD117, CD34, and S-100 protein and negative for desmin and -smooth muscle actin.
