Metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors mimicking gastrointestinal polyposis.
hospital because of hematemesis. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed more than 10 gastric polypoid lesions (●" Fig. 1 a). The smaller lesions were sessile, clearly demarcated, and had whitish erosions on the surface (●" Fig. 1b). The larger lesions were sub-pedunculated, and indigo carmine staining revealed a constricted base and elongated gastric pits on the surface (●" Fig. 1c). These endoscopi...
متن کاملPotential biomarkers in metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by Norden-Zfoni and colleagues in the May issue of Clinical Cancer Research. In this article, the investigators aimed to identify potential biomarkers in the blood of patients with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors treated with sunitinib malate (Sutent, Pfizer, Inc.; ref. 1). One of these biomarkers was the number of circulating en...
متن کاملGastrointestinal stromal tumors: clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features.
OBJECTIVES To study the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) in Kuwait. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hematoxylin- and eosin-stained sections of primary gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors were reviewed. Immunohistochemical staining was performed using a panel of antibodies to determine muscle and neural differentiation, the incidence of CD11...
متن کامل[Gastrointestinal stromal tumors--microscopic and immunihistochemical features].
BACKGROUND/AIM Gastrointestinal (GI) stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of GI tract. The most frequent localization is gastric (60-70%) followed by intestinal localization (20-30%). The histogenesis, classification, diagnostic criteria and biological behavior of GIST are still discussable. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are thought to originate from interstitial pacem...
متن کاملClinical, radiological and biological features of lung metastases in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (case reports).
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are mesenchymal tumors that most frequently arise in the gastrointestinal tract. The liver and peritoneum are common sites of distant GIST lesions, whereas lung metastases are infrequent, accounting for 7% of all lesions. The clinical significance of these metastases remains unknown. Although lung metastases are relatively rare in the natural history of G...
