IntroductionMultiple gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare tumors. Differential diagnosis between metastatic and multiple GISTs represents a challenge for a proper workup, prediction prognosis, and therapeutic strategy.Case presentationWe present the case of 67-year-old man with computed tomography (CT) evidence of multiple exophytic lesions in the abdomen, reaching diameters ranging from 1 to 9 cm, without any signs of organs infiltration, and resulting positive at 18F-FDG-PET/CT. Laparoscopic biopsy revealed multiple GISTs, and surgical resection by using an open approach was performed to achieve radicality. Moreover, an extensive review of the current literature was performed.ResultsSmall GISTs (<5 cm) can be treated by the laparoscopic approach, while in the case of large GISTs (>5 cm), tumor location and size should be taken into account to reach the stage of radical surgery avoiding tumor rupture. For metastatic GISTs, Imatinib represents the first choice of treatment, and surgery should be considered only in a few selected cases when all lesions are resectable.ConclusionSporadic multiple GISTs are a rare event, imaging findings are not specific for GISTs, and biopsy requires a secure diagnosis and proper management. In the case of large lesions, with a high risk of vessels injury, laparotomy excision should be considered to achieve radicality and to avoid tumor rupture.

“…Among the peritoneal structures, the small bowel mesentery is one of the most likely to be involved in metastatic disease (Figure 9). 6 The sigmoid mesocolon attaches the sigmoid colon to the posterior pelvic wall and contains the sigmoid and superior rectal vessels. The most common pathologic process involving this structure is acute diverticulitis.…”

The peritoneal cavity is commonly affected by disease processes such as bowel perforation, infections, malignancy, and trauma. Recognizing the anatomy of the peritoneal and retroperitoneal regions is essential for identifying diseases and formulating differential diagnoses during radiological interpretation. Understanding how diseases can spread through the abdomen and pelvis is crucial for an accurate interpretation of radiological findings. Radiologists must be familiar with the peritoneal and retroperitoneal anatomy to avoid potential diagnostic misinterpretations. This article aims to discuss the anatomic principles of peritoneal ligaments and spaces, retroperitoneal spaces and planes, review the basic embryological development of the peritoneum, describe the mechanism by which diseases spread through the abdomen and pelvis, and provide key diagnostic findings.
