Intestinal occlusion by stenotic neuroendocrine tumours of left colon and concomitant association with small bowel gastrointestinal stromal tumours: A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe association between Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours (GIST) and Neuroendocrine Tumours (NET) is very rare. These tumours have various clinical expressions and sometimes are asymptomatic. Synchronous NETs and GISTs have been already described in literature in few case reports. On the other hand, there is no mention of concomitant presence of discending colon NEC-G3 and small intestinal GIST. PRESENTATION OF CASE: we presented a case of a patient with clinical evidence of intestinal occlusion and radiological and intraoperative aspects of an adenocarcinoma of the left colon with a single metastasis on small bowel. The pathology analysis of the tumour showed a stenotic left colon NEC-G3 and a small bowel GIST. DISCUSSION: In this case report GIST was surgically treated as a small bowel ripetitive lesion and NET as a left colon adenocarcinoma. These tumours may have a similar presentation in terms of symptoms, endoscopic findings and imaging results.
conclusionConcomitant NEC and GIST is rare but it is important to investigate patients before surgery in order to distinguish these from other tumours because of the different prognosis.
