Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor in the Stomach Co-Existent with Renal Cell Carcinoma

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumours of the gastrointestinal system (GIS). They may co-exist with renal cell cancers (RCC). While a couple of cases have been reported in literature, these are in the form of case reports. This case report presents the case of a patient with GIST in the stomach and simultaneously detected RCC. Within the scope of the treatment, wedge resection to the stomach and partial nephrectomy were performed. The patient, who had no post-op complications, was discharged on post-op day 7.
