Mast Cell Sarcoma of Small Intestine, Early Diagnosis and Good Prognosis: An extremely Rare Case Report and Review of the Literature

Conclusions: This is the first reported case of successfully treated gastrointestinal mast cell sarcoma. All of the previously reported cases had been diagnosed after recurrence with no response to treatment. Our case shows the significance of early diagnosis and treatment in this condition and its impact on outcome and prognosis. That could be achieved only if the pathologist has a high suspicion for this rare disease and keeps it in the back of one's mind.
