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.
胃肠道间质瘤(GISTs)是胃肠道最常见的间叶性肿瘤。其最常见的转移部位是肝脏和腹膜,但GISTs很少转移至骨骼。我们报告一例58岁男性,在小肠肿瘤手术切除28个月后出现GIST的胸锁关节转移。我们将通过本文及文献复习来讨论GIST这种不寻常转移部位的临床特征、影像学特点及治疗方法。
