Malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor (GNET), a rare soft tissue sarcoma, is a recently described distinct clinicopathological entity. With only a few cases reported in literature till date, there is limited knowledge about the behavior as well as diagnosis of this tumor. GNET mimics several other tumors and hence presents as a diagnostic challenge to clinicians and pathologists alike. We report a case of gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumors with liver metastasis.
恶性胃肠道神经外胚层肿瘤(GNET)是一种罕见的软组织肉瘤,是最近描述的一种独特的临床病理实体。迄今为止,文献中仅报道了少数病例,对该肿瘤的行为及诊断了解有限。GNET可模仿其他几种肿瘤,因此对临床医生和病理学家来说都是一项诊断挑战。我们报告一例伴有肝转移的胃肠道神经外胚层肿瘤病例。
