The currently proposed management pathway includes EUS with biopsy and CT, and surgical resection recommended due to malignancy risk. Improved sample collection with EUS-FNA and microscopic assessment utilising S-100 immunohistochemistry may improve pre-operative diagnosis. Limitations include rare numbers in reported literature and short follow-up not allowing an assessment of GCT's natural history and malignancy risk. Additional cases would expand the current dataset of GCTs of the pancreas, so that surgical resection may be avoided in the future.
