Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are soft tissue sarcomas that can arise from any part of the digestive system. GISTs represent 1% of gastric neoplasms. We report a rare case of a GIST tumor in a 59-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain and weight loss. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen with intravenous contrast revealed a left upper quadrant abdominal mass and biopsy showed GIST. She was treated with imatinib to downsize the tumor prior to undergoing surgical resection of the tumor.
胃肠道间质瘤(GISTs)是一种可起源于消化系统任何部位的软组织肉瘤。GISTs占胃肿瘤的1%。我们报告一例罕见的59岁女性GIST肿瘤病例,该患者表现为腹痛和体重减轻。腹部增强计算机断层扫描(CT)显示左上腹有一肿块,活检显示为GIST。在进行肿瘤手术切除之前,她接受了伊马替尼治疗以缩小肿瘤大小。
