Primary Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) of the Liver: A Rare Case Report

摘要


Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Stomach and small intestine are the most common sites and rarely appear outside the digestive tract. We report a case of primary GIST in the liver of a 59-year-old man. Our patient had a good prognosis after complete surgical resection and oral imatinib adjuvant therapy (200 mg/day) for 2 years in spite of the classification as a high-risk tumor. He remained disease-free during 7 years post-operative follow-up, and alive well at the completion of this report.
