Gastrointestinal stromal tumor and extragastrointestinal stromal tumor: Rare pattern of recurrence of disease

Abstract

GIST and EGIST are known to be distinct clinico-pathological entities. The occurrence of both in the same patient as a pattern of recurrence is extremely rare. We report one such case which was managed successfully due to high index of suspicion and interdisciplinary co-ordination.
