Reviewer's report
Title:Synchronous carcinoid and gastrointestinal stromal tumour of the stomach:
a case report.
Version: 1Date:14 December 2010
Reviewer: Nikolaos Salemis
Reviewer's report:
The authors present a case of a synchronous occurrence of a gastrointestinal
stromal tumor and a carcinoid tumor of the stomach.
It is of course an extremely rare and interesting case. It is well written.
My comments are:
Minor essential revisions
1. Please define the type of gastrectomies that were performed in the 2
surgeries. Reconstruction of the GI tract in each case?
2. Why was the patient placed on imatinib, since the GIST was completely
excised and there was no recurrent or metastatic disease? Please use
supportive citation.
Kind regards
Level of interest: An article of limited interest
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
