The authors of this study present an interesting case of giant gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the stomach, in a 71-year-old woman. To improve the quality of the manuscript we recommend: 1. The introductory sentence could be rewritten as instead of saying "60 to 70%", writing a complete sentence describing the incidence. 2. To the best of our knowledge, it is the largest GIST of the stomach reported in the literature. A table or a reference point could be valuable to highlight this section. 3.Side of the abdomen (necrosis solid lesion?, Complicated loculated fluid collection?). The differential diagnosis could be mentioned in a sentence format rather than direct mention from the scan report. 4. Correlation is recommended for malignant mesenchymal tumor? - A question mark denotes?? 5. No problems occurred during the surgery. - Rather, no advertant or the surgery was performed without any remarkable complications. 6. The description of the histopathological report can be written properly rather than pasting it directly from the report. 7.Please mention the complete name of GIST in brackets at the beginning. 8. Kindly elaborate on the discussion part. It is abrupt and incomplete, A more detailed description regarding the possible etipathogenesis could be a good factor in writing the same.
