Tumor diameter (>5 cm) and mitotic count (>5/50 high-power fields (HPF)) are generally used as indices of malignant potential. Biologically, small intestinal GIST is regarded as having higher malignant potential than gastric GIST, and a malignant potential classification has recently been proposed that takes account of the site of origin. This case was classified as low risk, with a tumor diameter of 20 mm and 4/50 HPF mitotic figures.
