Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the most frequent mesenchymal tumors, yet their association with adenocarcinoma is rare, only a few clinical cases are reported in the literature. We report the case of a 65-year-old woman, followed at the University Hospital of Fez, for a pyloric adenocarcinoma, in whom the extension assessment revealed a stromal tumor of the gastrointestinal type at the expense of a jejunal loop. We describe through this observation the epidemiological and clinical aspects, and the particularities of the management of this rare association.
