Abstract

Collision tumours of two different histopathological processes are rare. We describe a case of a patient with known low grade prostate adenocarcinoma developing a rectal GIST, which was diagnosed with combined imaging modalities of MR and ultrasound and confirmed by transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy.
