GISTs are typically characterised by positive immunohistochemical staining with CD117 and CD34. Its association with neurofibromatosis (neurofibromatosis 1 (NF-1)) is an unusual event, but people affected by NF-1 are more likely to develop GIST than the general population. Here, we report an unusual presentation of a case of malignant GIST in a young lady who has a background history of neurofibromatosis.</span></span> | ||
