One-stage laparoscopic resection for a large gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor and synchronous liver metastases following preoperative imatinib therapy: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laparoscopic partial gastrectomy without lymph node dissection has been accepted worldwide for the treatment of small gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). However, the role of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of large gastric GISTs remains under debate due to the risk of tumor spillage or rupture of the tumor capsule leading to peritoneal seeding. To the best of our knowledge, one-stage laparoscopic resection for a large gastric GIST and synchronous liver metastases following preoperative imatinib therapy has not been previously reported. Here, we present our initial experience of this method of treatment.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) include 80% of gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors that originate from interstitial Cajal cells and include 0.1-3% of GI malignancies, and the stomach is the most commonly involved organ. The only potentially curative treatment is surgical resection with clear margins. Although laparoscopic resection of small GISTs is a standard treatment, there is contro...

METHODS The tumor, which endosonographical...
متن کاملCo-occurrence of liver metastasis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor and hepatocellular carcinoma: a case report
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are potentially malignant mesenchymal tumors that can give rise to distant metastases, mainly in the liver. The co-occurrence of synchronous primary liver tumors (e.g., hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)) in patients with GIST is extremely rare. This report describes a 77-year-old male patient with liver metastasis of GIST originating in the small intestine a...

Metastatic tumors to the liver resulting in fulminant hepatic failure are a rare occurrence and have not been previously described in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). A 70 year-old man was referred to hospital with postprandial discomfort. On examination a 19.5 cm large epithelioid GIST of the stomach was diagnosed. The mass exhibited unfavorable prognostic features: mitotic...

OBJECTIVES Despite its rising popularity, reports on the use of preoperative imatinib mesylate (IM) in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) are limited. This study aims to explore the clinical efficacy of preoperative IM in patients with primarily unresectable or metastatic/recurrent GIST. METHODS Between September 2009 and February 2014, patients with primarily unrese...
