Abstract:
Gastrointestinal autonomic nerve tumors (GANT) are rare tumors linked to the autonomic nervous plexuses in the gastrointestinal tract. Distinguishing them from s tromal tumors involves examining their unique ultra structural features, often through electron microscopy and immunohistochemical analysis. Despite their slow growth, they tend to have an aggressive clinical course and are often associated with a poor prognosis, frequently leading to fatalities. Here we present a case of 35 year old female presenting in the pain abdomen, loss of weight and appetite.
