Zusammenfassung:	EUS-guided fine-needle ethanol injection (FNI) therapy of some types of cystic and solid tumors has been documented. However, reported cases to date of gastrointestinal-stromal tumors (GIST) treated with this technique are scarce. Ethanol ablation is an alternative treatment with a low rate of adverse events in selected cases.
