The Authors describe four cases of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) two of them were localized in the stomach, the others in the ileum. GIST are neoplasms of mesenchymal origin which develop inside the wall of the digestive tract. The most frequent site is the stomach, followed by the small bowel; less commonly these tumors can affect the oesophagus, the colon and the rectum. GIST origin...

Schwannomas are generally slow growing asymptomatic neoplasms that rarely occur in the GI tract. However, if found, the most common site is the stomach. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, and 60-70% of them occur in the stomach. Owing to their typical presentation as submucosal neoplasms, gastric schwannomas and GISTs ap...

All ages and truncated (35 to 64 years) mortality rates from all neoplasms and from cancers of the lung, stomach, intestines, and breast for the six calendar quinquennia from 1960-1964 to 1985-1989 were computed from official death certification data and population estimates obtained from the World Health Organization database for total Europe (excluding former Soviet Union) and for three broad...

The coexistence of gastrointestinal tumors (GIST’s) with other several primary malignant neoplasms has been demonstrated. However, there is no study that reported simultaneous occurrence small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) and a GIST located in the stomach. Here, we report first case SBA synchronous gastric GIST. Surgical resection clinicopathological characterization were performed for masses ide...

......................................... Received: 19-02-15 Accepted: 26-02-15 Abstract A basic principle of pathology is that neoplasms differ according to their cells of origin. Neoplasms of the liver resemble its constituent liver, biliary, epithelial, endothelial, mesenchymal cells or some combination of these different types of cells. It is important to remember here that metastases are t...

Introduction: The stomach can be the source of complaints for many patients attending for upper abdominal ultrasound. It is not routinely imaged as part of most upper abdominal ultrasound protocols, with sonographers and sonologists alike commonly muttering the line; "I can't see the stomach on ultrasound". However, this is incorrect, as the gastric antrum can almost always be visualised sonogr...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms in the gastrointestinal tract. The metachronous existence of GIST and gastric adenocarcinoma, though are tumours of distinct histotype, and very rare, have been reported in medical case reports in recent years. We report a case of a 74 year old man who initially presented with moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the ...

Context Mucinous cystic neoplasms are a family of morphologically similar tumors arising in the pancreas, ovarium, appendix, hepatobiliary tract, and more rarely in the retroperitoneum, testis, lung, breast, spleen, bowel, and mesentery. Case report A sixty-three-year-old male diagnosed with abdominal cystic lesions was referred to our hospital. Abdominal computed tomography revealed two cystic...
