Core Tip	Extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGIST) are less common in comparison with gastrointestinal stromal tumors. EGIST tumors in the membranous tissue are rare and tumors independently developing in membrane tissues such as greater omentum, mesentery or peritoneum are occasionally reported. Diffuse membranous tumor in entire abdominal cavity is extremely rare worldwide. We report a case of EGIST with the tumors like cobblestone being diffusely distributed in entire abdominal cavity accompanied by spontaneous bleeding. The tumors may not be fully resected by surgery, hence we made biopsy, pathological examination and gene detection to determine the therapy. Treatment with imatinib achieved better outcome.
