Abstract 

We report the diagnosis of synchronous gastrointestinal stromal tumours affecting the small bowel and intraepithelial neoplasia of the colon in a 52-year-old patient. After surgical resection of the two tumours outcome was favourable. We discuss the causality of this association, based on a literature review of the few previously published cases.

Keywords: Colonic intraepithelial neoplasia, GIST
