2/5. Bowel perforation due to gastrointestinal autonomic nerve tumour associated with neurofibromatosis type 1.Gastrointestinal autonomic nerve (GAN) tumours form a distinct subcategory of gastrointestinal stromal tumours, and are thought to originate from the enteric autonomic plexus. To date, a total of 45 cases have been documented in the literature; a few of these cases were associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). Bowel perforation due to other gastrointestinal stromal tumours has been reported only twice, but never in association with a GAN tumour. We describe a 40-year-old woman with NF-1 who had bowel perforation due to a GAN tumour. The patient underwent radical surgical resection and remained tumour free for at least 4 years, which may indicate a good prognosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 761.42563345264keywords = gastrointestinal stromal tumour, gastrointestinal stromal, stromal tumour, stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/5. Stromal tumor in a perforated Meckel's diverticulum: a case report.Stromal tumors are rare neoplasms of the small bowel that locate in Meckel's diverticulum with high preference. Perforation of those tumors is very uncommon. There are 96 cases reported in current literature, including only 6 perforations. The diagnosis of that kind of tumor is very difficult because of lack of pathognomonic signs and symptoms. The clinical presentation include abdominal pain, intestinal bleeding, abdominal mass, intestinal obstruction and less commonly, acute perforation. We report the case of a 61-years old patient with a poorly differentiated stromal tumor in a perforated Meckel's diverticulum. The difficulty of identifying a stromal tumor preoperatively and the therapeutic options are emphasised. It is suggested that an aggressive attitude should be taken in the preoperative management of any patient over 50 years of age who presents with melena and abdominal pain.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/5. Perforation of metastatic melanoma to the small bowel with simultaneous gastrointestinal stromal tumor.The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is a common site of metastases for malignant melanoma. These metastatic tumors are often asymptomatic. We describe a case of a 58-year-old male who presented with a sudden onset of generalized abdominal pain. The patient's past medical history was significant for lentigo melanoma of the right cheek. laparotomy was performed and two segments of small bowel, one with a perforated tumor, the other with a non-perforated tumor, were removed. histology and immunohistochemical staining revealed the perforated tumor to be a metastatic malignant melanoma and the non-perforated tumor was found to be a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). The patient was discharged 7 d postoperatively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature of a simultaneous metastatic malignant melanoma and a GIST. Surgical intervention is warranted in patients with symptomatic GIT metastases to improve the quality of life or in those patients with surgical emergencies.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 668.9193970433keywords = gastrointestinal stromal, stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/5. Perforated Meckel's diverticulum presenting as a gastrointestinal stromal tumor: a case report.Tumors and perforation of Meckel's diverticulum are rare manifestations. A gastrointestinal stromal tumor in a Meckel's diverticulum causing perforation and subsequent peritonitis in a 75-year-old man is presented. The literature on tumors in Meckel's diverticulum is extensively reviewed and discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 668.9193970433keywords = gastrointestinal stromal, stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
