title: [Gastrointestinal stromal tumors: a case with mixed muscular-neuronal origin].
abstract: GIST have still today controversial aspects of their histogenesis that are reflected on the classification and prognosis. It's showed a particular case with mixed muscular-neuronal histogenesis that supposes totipotent cell origin of these neoplasms. Diagnosis, classification and prognosis are very difficult to evaluate; surgery at the moment is the only useful treatment modality.
