The incidence and prevalence of these neoplasms showed a significant increase in the last four decades leading to a rising interest in these tumours with remarkable progresses in their both treatment and management. Nevertheless, they are still considered rare diseases with a global clinical incidence of 3.65 cases/100,000 per year according to the National Cancer Institute SEER (Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results) registry.[1]
