1/9. An unusual case of complete Carney's triad in a 14-year-old boy.Carney's triad represents the association of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor, pulmonary chondroma, and extraadrenal paraganglioma. Only 79 cases of this rare condition have been described. Here, the authors describe the unusual case of a 14-year-old boy who presented with a complete Carney's triad. This is only the second reported case in the world literature of a patient manifesting a complete Carney's triad at presentation. The management of each tumor is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = gastrointestinal stromal, stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/9. Case report: gastroduodenal intussusception of a gastrointestinal stromal tumour.Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs), previously termed leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas are relatively common tumours of the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly found in the stomach. Most GISTs are asymptomatic but may cause abdominal pain or bleeding from ulceration of the overlying mucosa. A rare case of gastroduodenal intussusception of a large gastric stromal tumour, which presented with intermittent abdominal pain and gastric outlet obstruction, is reported. Pre-operative diagnosis was made on abdominal CT and confirmed at laparotomy. Pre-operative diagnostic difficulties and management are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 11.874190675908keywords = gastrointestinal stromal tumour, gastrointestinal stromal, stromal tumour, stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/9. Gastric tuberculosis with concomitant stromal tumour of stomach (GIST).Gastric tuberculosis is an extremely rare condition because of unfavorable circumstances in stomach due to low pH, high motility and lack of lymphoid tissue. All these discourage the development of tuberculous lesion. Similarly, simultaneous stromal tumour of stomach is also a rare entity. We present a rare case of tuberculosis of stomach with no evidence of pulmonary involvement and a concomitant stromal tumour of the stomach. This unique case illustrates the need for a high index of suspicion in order to diagnose this rare condition, as this can present in patients with no particular risk factors or minimal symptoms.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2892892749886keywords = stromal tumour, stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/9. An unusual case of gastric heterotopic pancreas.CONTEXT: Submucosal lesions of the gastrointestinal tract represent a diagnostic challenge for the physician. Endoscopic ultrasonography may provide useful information before deciding on therapeutic strategy. CASE REPORT: We report on a case of a young female presenting with a large gastric submucosal mass, 32 mm in size. Endoscopic ultrasonography identified a non-homogeneous lesion, with three cystic spaces suggesting a degenerated gastrointestinal stromal tumor. An exploratory laparoscopy was performed. Surprisingly, the final diagnosis was gastric heterotopic pancreas. CONCLUSION: Heterotopic pancreas should always be kept in mind when facing extramucosal gastric masses, especially in young people. A perioperative biopsy is recommended to prevent unnecessary extensive surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = gastrointestinal stromal, stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/9. bronchogenic cyst of the stomach masquerading as benign stromal tumor.Gastric bronchogenic cyst is an extremely rare lesion. A 62-year-old Korean woman presented with an incidentally found perigastric nodule. An abdominal ultrasonogram and computed tomography showed a 1.5 cm solid, homogeneous, low-density nodule in the hepatogastric ligament near the gastric lesser curvature. At the time of surgery, a soft 1.7 cm nodule was found in the lesser curvature side just below the gastroesophageal junction, and a gelatinous mass was protruded from the nodule during the resection. Microscopically, the gastric subserosa showed cystic structures lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium, seromucinous gland, connective tissue and complete layers of smooth muscle bundles. Neither cartilage nor gastrointestinal epithelium was identified. A mucocele was found near the cyst and foamy cells and faintly bluish mucinous substances were found near the cystic structures. All the mucinous substances were stained by alcian blue at pH 2.5 with varying degrees of staining intensity. The present case is the smallest reported cyst among the gastric bronchogenic cysts, and these lesions are unusually located at the lesser curvature side of the stomach. Although these lesions are very rare, gastric bronchogenic cyst should be included in the differential diagnosis of gastric wall mass.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.033252435741449keywords = stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/9. Heterotopic pancreas in the stomach.A patient diagnosed with gastrointestinal stromal tumour of the stomach underwent gastrectomy. Post-operatively, histopathology was reported as heterotopic pancreas of the stomach. Heterotopic pancreas is very rare and though most of them appear asymptomatic, surgical resection is advisable.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.8611068960612keywords = gastrointestinal stromal tumour, gastrointestinal stromal, stromal tumour, stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/9. bronchogenic cyst of the gastric fundus presenting as a gastrointestinal stromal tumor.gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) of the stomach are being recognized with increasing frequency. The diagnosis is usually made on the basis of appearance on computed tomography (CT) and excision is recommended for GIST larger than 5 cm. We report a 39-year-old woman referred for resection of a presumed GIST of the gastric fundus diagnosed by CT scan and upper gastrointestinal (UGI) series. A laparoscopic resection was performed, but upon pathologic examination the mass proved to be a bronchogenic duplication cyst of the stomach. Bronchogenic and esophageal duplication cysts usually arise in the chest or mediastinum. On rare occasions bronchogenic cysts may lose their connection to the tracheobronchial tree and migrate to a subcutaneous position in the neck or descend into the retroperitoneum. The importance of this case is that it demonstrates a rare yet essential component to the differential diagnosis of lesions of the stomach.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4.0083131089354keywords = gastrointestinal stromal, stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/9. Xanthogranulomatous pseudotumor of stomach induced by perforated peptic ulcer mimicking a stromal tumor.Perforation is a serious complication of peptic ulcer disease occurring in 5% of such patients. Occasionally, the perforation may be sealed off by the omentum or the adjacent organs. Sealed perforated ulcer with pseudotumor formation is very rarely encountered. Here we present a case of gastric pseudotumor induced by perforation of a peptic ulcer. The imaging features in a barium sulfate study and computed tomography mimic an intramural tumor of the stomach.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.033252435741449keywords = stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/9. Gastroduodenal intussusception of a stromal gastric tumour.An elderly patient presented with intermittent vomiting. The cause was a gastric tumour causing gastroduodenal intussusception. On excision and histological examination this was found to be a stromal tumour of uncertain malignant potential ('STUMP').- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.24813398157288keywords = stromal tumour, stromal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
