GIST associated with von recklinghausen disease : Report of two cases and review of literature

© 2021 The Authors..

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), or Von Recklinghausen's disease, is an autosomal dominant condition that affects the central nervous system. Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) refers to non-epithelial tumors of the gastrointestinal tract lacking smooth muscle structural features and schwann cell immunohistochemical characteristics. The risk of patients with NF1 to develop a GIST is 7%.

CASE PRESENTATION: GIST is a soft tissue sarcoma that probably arises from the interstitial Cajal cells of the intestine. GIST associated with NF1 syndrome appears to have a distinct phenotype, occurring in younger patients compared to sporadic GIST.

CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The clinical presentation can be highly variable, the association of gastrointestinal tumors associated with Von Recklinghausen's disease is up to 7%, postoperative treatment with imatinib is reserved for patients with a high risk of recurrence.

CONCLUSION: The treatment of primary GIST is complete surgical resection with free microscopic margins and an intact pseudocapsule.
