Primary cutaneous amelanotic melanoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor in synchronous evolution*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor is rare digestive tract mesenchymal tumor, most often in the wall of the stomach. It is a benign neoplasm, but it can become malignant if not treated. We report a case of gastrointestinal stromal tumor that was discovered after abdominal ultrasonography during staging of a patient with primary cutaneous amelanotic melanoma. Mutation in the tyrosine kinase receptor could explain the development of two types of tumors in the same patient.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract and most commonly affects the stomach, while fibromatosis is a rare locally aggressive fibrous tissue neoplasm. There have been reports of GIST and fibromatosis occurring in same individual and in most of them fibromatosis occurs within the abdomen. In 75% of patients fibromatosis occurs aft...
متن کاملAmelanotic Anorectal Malignant Melanoma: Case Report with Immunohistochemical Study and Literature Review
Epithelioid cell tumors presenting in the gastrointestinal tract are uncommon, but when they arise, arriving at a correct diagnosis is important. We report a case of anal malignant melanoma in an 82-year-old man who microscopically showed an epithelioid malignant tumor simulating a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. C-kit stain and Melan-A were diffusely and strongly positive, while HMB-45 was foc...

Soft tissue tumors are generally defined as tumors of connective tissues, including nonosseous sarcomas, benign mesenchymal tumors, and tumor-like proliferations. These tumors are usually considered to include non-osseous tumors of the extremities, trunk wall, intraabdominal and intrathoracic space, and head and neck, although definitions vary. Generally excluded from this definition are nonmes...
