Malignant Gastrointestinal Neuroectodermal Tumor: a Unique Rare Neoplasm

Malignant Gastrointestinal Neuroectodermal Tumor: a Unique Rare Neoplasm Abstract Malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor (GNET) is a rare malignant tumor. It is also referred to as clear cell sarcoma-like gastrointestinal tumor (CCSLGT). It is an aggressive tumor with a high rate of local recurrence, metastases, and early death from disease. Its pathogenesis is not known. It shows evidence of neural differentiation and lacks immunohistochemical and ultrastructural evidence of melanocytic differentiation. It needs to be distinguished from various mimickers owing to its aggressive course. Herein, we report a case of GNET in a 55-year-old female patient. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Indian Journal of Surgical Oncology Springer Journals

Abstract Malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor (GNET) is a rare malignant tumor. It is also referred to as clear cell sarcoma-like gastrointestinal tumor (CCSLGT). It is an aggressive tumor with a high rate of local recurrence, metastases, and early death from disease. Its pathogenesis is not known. It shows evidence of neural differentiation and lacks immunohistochemical and ultrastructural evidence of melanocytic differentiation. It needs to be distinguished from various mimickers owing to its aggressive course. Herein, we report a case of GNET in a 55-year-old female patient.
