A case-report of synchronous adenocarcinoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the colon

Abstract

Synchronous colonic tumors of different morphology are rarely described in the literature and do not have a clear ethiological connection. This fact is the key to a more detailed study of the clinical and morphological and molecular genetic features of different gistotipov synchronous tumors. There is increasing publications and clinical observations of simultaneous coexistence of adenocarcinoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor. A separate and very valuable space is given interaction surgeons oncologists and pathologists. Today, for the correct pathological diagnosis of synchronous tumors of different biological nature, it is obligatory to conduct immunohistochemical study. Data on the results of treatment of synchronous tumors must necessarily be recorded in the cancer registries. Based on that, the developed algorithms timely diagnosis and proper treatment strategy in the cohort of patients. We present a case report of a 56 year old patient with a rare synchronous epithelial and non-epithelial colon tumors.
