Summary
In this article, we present a case we had
encountered: a Desmoid tumor developing in a patient with a history of GIST 3
years ago. It is the first case of GIST with subsequent development of Desmoid
tumor to be reported in Saudi Arabia. We discuss the two entities of Desmoid
tumor and GIST by comparing their definitions, clinical presentations,
histological features, immunohistochemistry stains, molecular pathogenesis,
prognosis, and treatment. We also discuss the relationship between GIST and the
subsequent development of Desmoid tumors and compare our case with case reports
in literature.
