Metastatic Location

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. Their most common metastatic sites are the liver and the peritoneum, but GISTs rarely metastasize to the bones. We report a case of a 58-year-old man with sternoclavicular joint metastasis from a GIST manifesting 28 months after surgical resection of the small intestine tumor. We will discuss through this paper and a literature review the clinical characteristics, imaging features, and management of this unusual metastatic location of GIST.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are mesenchymal neoplasms that most commonly affect the stomach or small intestine, but can occur anywhere throughout the gastrointestinal tract. To the best of our knowledge, few cases have been reported in the literature about the femur metastasis of GIST. This paper describes a metastasis of a gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) to the femur in a 62-year-old male, 2 years after treatment for a gastric primary. There were no signs of tumor recurrence at followup after 12 mo. This case suggests that the femur can be a potential metastatic site of GIST.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are relatively rare pathology as compared with other mitotic lesions of GIT. However, GIST is the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. Biopsy of the lesion and Immuno-Histo-Chemistry (IHC) for CD117 confirms the diagnosis. Surgery remains the standard of care and only potentially curative therapy for patients with primary, resectable, localized gastrointestinal stromal tumor. However, chemotherapy with Imatinib is added in neoadjuvant or adjuvant form according to clinical situation, and histopathological status of the lesion.

Introduction Gastrointestinal stromal tumors represent extremely rare tumors of the gastrointestinal system, especially when localized on the small intestine. Case report We report a case of a female patient, with recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding and severe anemia, caused by gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the small intestine. After negative endoscopic findings, she underwent radiological examination of the small intestine. Primary diagnostic radiological evaluation included: small intestine passage enteroclysis, computed tomography of the abdominal cavity and selective angiographic study of the three major aortic branches that supply the gastrointestinal tract in the abdomen (celiac axis, superior mesenteric artery and inferior mesenteric artery). Secondly, ultrasound of abdominal cavity was performed. Findings of small intestine passage and enteroclysis were negative. The tumor was visualized by computed tomography and ultrasound, but without distinctive anatomical localization in the abdominal cavity. Discussion The diagnostic dilemma has been resolved by using selective angiographic examination of celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery and thus a tumor formation was visualized in the mesenterium of the small intestine. Radiological findings were confirmed by surgery. Histopathological findings were positive for gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Conclusion Gastrointestinal stromal tumors of the small intestine rarely cause recurrent bleeding, but they should be included in differential diagnosis.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) is a mesenchymal tumor of GI tract. Now a daysdiagnosis of GISTs is more frequent then previous due to advance diagnostic tool. GISTsusually present with abdominal mass and GI bleeding but it may also present with manyunusual pattern like obstruction, perforation. Perforation of GISTs is extremely rare presentation.We report a case of pneumoperitoneum due to perforation of small intestinal GIST.Emergency laparotomy followed by resection and end to end anastomosis was done. Aftersurgical treatment lmatinibmesylate was given for prevention of early recurrence. Journal of Surgical Sciences (2016) Vol. 20 (2) :65-67

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common malignant mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. The most common sites of metastasis are the liver and the peritoneum, whereas metastasis to soft tissue is rare. The authors present the case of a 78-year-old male with a soft tissue metastasis of a GIST and the current literature is reviewed.
