Results  GS is rare in clinical reports, and it is lack of tissue specificity. Diagnosis is rely mainly on the expressions of S-100 protein and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). All kinds of auxiliary examinations, such as gastrointestinal angiography, ultrasound, endoscope, CT, an so on, could not independently as a diagnostic basis.
