We saw two cases of gastrointestinal stroma tumour (GIST) in morbid obese patients 6 months ago. They were diagnosed with endoscopic ultrasonography. We used laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), a new bariatric surgery, in order to treat morbid obesity and GISTs at the same time. After the operation, the GISTs were removed successfully. The body weights and fasting glucose levels decreased significantly. As a result, LSG is a good and simple method in treating GISTs in morbid obese patients.
