Abstract
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common neurocutaneous syndrome that predisposes to a wide variety of tumors. These tumors can be benign or malignant, such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). However, the association of small bowel GIST and Recklinghausen's disease or neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is rare. We report the case of a patient who underwent surgery for GIST.
