چکیده
Liver is the most common metastatic site of gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST). The recurrence rate is high even after hepatectomy. Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) makes the resection feasible for some of the liver metastasis of GIST and significantly increase the overall survival, surgery still can not be substituted. Therefore, it is worth investigating and exploring the most appropriate treatment for the GIST with liver metastasis.

Spontaneous hepatic hemorrhage is a rare condition that may be caused by an underlying hepatic tumor, most commonly hepatocellular carcinoma or hepatic adenoma. A spontaneous rupture of a hepatic metastasis from a gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor is also extremely rare, and the majority of affected patients present with hypovolemic shock or an acute abdomen. In this article, we report the...
متن کاملPrognostic impact of blood vessel invasion in gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the stomach.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors have a wide spectrum of biologic behavior, and occasional cases show liver metastases. The modified risk grade based on tumor size and mitotic counts has been proposed to predict the biologic behavior in gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Blood vessel invasion (BVI) is important in the development of metastasis of various kinds of cancer. The aim of this st...
متن کاملOne-stage laparoscopic resection for a large gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor and synchronous liver metastases following preoperative imatinib therapy: A case report
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, ...
