title: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor of gastrohepatic omentum in a patient with von Recklinghausen's disease (neurofibromatosis type 1).
abstract: It is very rare to find large gastrointestinal stromal tumors arising from the gastrohepatic omentum in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1. We here document a case of two large gastrointestinal stromal tumors arising from the gastrohepatic omentum in a patient with von Recklinghausen's disease. In the present case, two large tumors in the lesser sac were evident on preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging and were surgically removed successfully. Biopsy was suggestive of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
