    Synchronous appearance of gastrointestinal stromal tumor and neuroendocrine tumor in stomach: Review of the literature and management strategies
    (AVES, 2012) DUMAN, DENİZ; Duman, Deniz Guney; Eren, Funda; Yegin, Ender Gunes; Ikinci, Aygun; Yegen, Cumhur
    Gastrointestinal stromal tumors represent the most common mesenchymal tumor of the digestive tract. Although the stomach is the most common location for gastrointestinal stromal tumor with the co-primary tumors, the synchronous appearance of a neuroendocrine tumor and gastrointestinal stromal tumor in the stomach is rare. We present here the case of a 48-year-old male with gastric well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor and gastrointestinal stromal tumor discovered incidentally during surgical treatment of the neuroendocrine tumor. We discuss the current guidelines for the management of small gastrointestinal stromal tumors (<2 cm in diameter) and the gastric carcinoids. We also review the literature for the co-occurrence of gastrointestinal stromal tumor and neuroendocrine tumor in a gastric location.
