Neurogenic sarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract.
Two cases of neurogenic sarcoma involving the gastrointestinal tract are presented. To our knowledge Case 1 is the first case of primary neurogenic sarcoma of the stomach to be reported in the English literature, Case 2 represents an unreported metastatic site for this rare tumor. The cases are typical of submucosal tumors in general and depict the special care needed with regard to biopsy technic and histological evaluation.
