Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. GISTs arise in the smooth muscle pacemaker interstitial cell of Cajal, or similar cells. [2] They are defined as tumors whose behavior is driven by mutations in the KIT gene (85%), [2] PDGFRA gene (10%), [2] or BRAF kinase (rare).
Sex cord/gonadal stromal tumor, NOS; Testicular/ovarian stromal tumor; M8591/1 Sex cord-gonadal stromal tumor, incompletely differentiated M8592/1 Sex cord-gonadal stromal tumor, mixed forms M8593/1 Stromal tumor with minor sex cord elements M8600/0 Thecoma, NOS Theca cell tumor; M8600/3 Thecoma, malignant M8601/0 Thecoma, luteinized M8602/0 ...
Carney triad (CT), named for J Aidan Carney, is considered to be a specific type of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN). The three classically associated tumors are a subset of gastric epithelioid leiomyosarcoma (it is now known that this subset is actually gastrointestinal stromal tumor arising from the interstitial cells of Cajal), pulmonary chondroma, and extra-adrenal paraganglioma.
In 2008, globally there were 280,000 new cases of pancreatic cancer reported and 265,000 deaths. [10] These cancers are classified as endocrine or nonendocrine tumors. The most common is ductal adenocarcinoma. [1] The most significant risk factors for pancreatic cancer are advanced age (over 60) and smoking. [8]
The most common sarcoma in the intestine are gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) Lymphoma – these cancers start in lymphocytes. Carcinoid tumors of the midgut – this is a type of neuroendocrine tumor (NET). They tend to be slow growing and are the most common type of small intestine tumor. (American Cancer Society, 2023)
ADHD can only be diagnosed by a licensed clinician, and the first step to do so is via screening with validated tools to screen for ADHD in adults. [10] [12] [13] The Adult ADHD Self Report Rating Scale (ASRS) is a validated screening tool recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) with a sensitivity and specificity of 91.4% and 96.0% ...
Gastroblastoma is a rare cancer that occurs in the stomach. [1] [2] Only six cases have been reported to date (2017) [citation needed].A single case of a similar lesion has been reported in the duodenum. [3]
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a clinical condition caused by cancerous cells (mucinous adenocarcinoma) that produce abundant mucin or gelatinous ascites. [1] The tumors cause fibrosis of tissues and impede digestion or organ function, and if left untreated, the tumors and mucin they produce will fill the abdominal cavity.
