Objective:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical, pathologic, and imaging features of gastrointestinal stromal tumors that occur in patients with neurofibromatosis.
Conclusion:
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors that occur in patients with neurofibromatosis commonly originate from the proximal small intestine and are often multiple. The cross-sectional imaging appearance of gastrointestinal stromal tumors that occur in patients with neurofibromatosis is similar to that of gastrointestinal stromal tumors that occur in the general population.
