A 39-year-old male underwent distal gastrectomy for a high grade gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 107 mo after the operation, revealed a cystic mass (14 cm in diameter) and a solid mass (9 cm in diameter) in the right and left lobes of the liver, respectively. A biopsy specimen of the solid mass showed a liver metastasis of GIST. The patient received imatinib mesylate (IM) treatment, 400 mg/day orally. Following the IM treatment for a period of 35 mo, the patient underwent partial hepatectomy (S4 + S5). The effect of IM on the metastatic lesions was interpreted as pathologic complete response (CR). Pathologically verified cases showing therapeutic efficacy of IM have been rarely reported.
一名39岁男性因高级别胃肠道间质瘤(GIST)接受了远端胃切除术。术后107个月的计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MRI)显示,肝脏右叶有一个囊性肿块(直径14厘米),左叶有一个实性肿块(直径9厘米)。实性肿块的活检标本显示为GIST肝转移。患者接受甲磺酸伊马替尼(IM)治疗,口服400毫克/天。在接受IM治疗35个月后,患者接受了肝部分切除术(S4 + S5)。IM对转移病灶的作用被解释为病理完全缓解(CR)。很少有病理证实显示IM治疗有效的病例报道。
