A SYNCHRONOUS INCIDENCE OF ASYMPTOMATIC JEJUNAL GIST IN PATIENT WITH NON- FUNCTIONAL PANCREATIC NEUROENDOCRINE TUMOR (PNET)

Abstract

Objective : Pancreatic NET and GIST represent rare neoplasms. This is a case report on a patient operated for PNET with incidentally found jejunal GIST in our unit. Results : Patient underwent enucleation for pancreatic NET and jejuno-jejunal resection and anastomosis for GIST. Postoperatively patient was prescribed imatinib. Post operative period and followup were uneventful. Conclusions : Sporadic non-functioning PNET was an incidental diagnosis, while jejuna GIST was intraoperative incidental diagnosis. Prognosis predominantly depends upon type, size and stage of presentation of PNET, as GIST was asymptomatic.
