Synchronous Adenocarcinoma and Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor of the Stomach Treated by a Combination of Laparoscopy-assisted Distal Gastrectomy and Wedge Resection

Abstract: The simultaneous occurrence of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and a gastric adenocarcinoma is uncommon, and has rarely been reported in the literature. The present report describes the case of a 74-year-old male patient who initially presented with an adenocarcinoma that had invaded the antral mucosa. Computed tomography then revealed the presence of a suspected GIST, in the form of a 2×2 cm mass at the hilum of the spleen. In view of the advanced age of the patient, a surgical approach that would min… Show more

“…Gastric adenocarcinoma and GIST are distinct neoplasms originating from different cell layers; gastric adenocarcinomas are derived from epithelial layers and GISTs are derived from nonepithelial layers. The synchronous occurrence of gastric cancer and GIST has rarely been reported in the literature [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Close existence of gastric cancer and GIST has been described in some literature [2,3,5], whereas gastric cancer and GIST are reported to exist separately in the stomach in others [4,[6][7][8][9][10].…”
