Malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor (GNET) is a rare neoplasm with unknown etiology. It was previously referred to as Clear cell sarcoma of gastrointestinal tract. This tumor is characterized by a higher rate of local recurrence and metastasis. Due to its aggressive clinical course, distinguishing this entity from various other mimickers is very essential. Herein, we present a case of malignant GNET in a 33-year-old male patient.
恶性胃肠道神经外胚层肿瘤(GNET)是一种病因不明的罕见肿瘤。它以前被称为胃肠道透明细胞肉瘤。这种肿瘤的特点是局部复发和转移率较高。由于其侵袭性的临床病程,将该实体与其他各种类似疾病区分开来非常重要。在此,我们报告一例33岁男性患者的恶性GNET病例。
