Abstract excerpt

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are rare in the vermiform appendix. Only 5 cases have been reported so far, all being 14 mm or less, and they have yet not been investigated at the molecular level. Here, we report 2 appendiceal gastrointestinal stromal tumors in a 78-year-old woman and a 72-year-old man with a history of endometrial adenocarcinoma and urinary bladder carcinoma, respectively. The first...
