Synchronous primary adenocarcinoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor in the stomach

Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and adenocancers are distinct neoplasms originating from different cell layers. Synchronous development of a GIST and adenocancer in the stomach is extremely rare and that have been reported only as case reports in the literature. In this paper, we report the case of a 76-year-old female patient who had synchronous gastric tumors and, analyze synchronous tumors of the stomach.
