Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare, but represent the most common mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. The paucity of intracranial metastasis makes treatment strategies difficult. This manuscript presents the first documented case report of a GIST that presented clinically with pituitary symptoms due to a pituitary metastasis.

摘要

胃肠道间质瘤（GISTs）较为罕见，但却是胃肠道最常见的间叶性肿瘤。颅内转移罕见使得治疗策略颇具难度。本文首次报道了一例因垂体转移而出现垂体症状的胃肠道间质瘤病例。
