Descriptions of the cytomorphologic features of Extra‐gastrointestinal stromal tumor ( EGIST ) are limited, especially ‘pure’ epithelioid EGISTS . The present study includes cytomorphological profile of two cases of EGIST confirmed by CKIT and DOG 1 immunostaining, the latter on cell block preparation.
