Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) develop in the digestive tract, mainly in the stomach, small intestine, colon, or esophagus. However, primary tumors with the same pathologic features as GISTs have been reported to occur outside of the digestive tract and are called extragastrointestinal stromal tumor (EGIST). We herein report a rare case of EGIST arising from the greater omentum in a patient with abdominal pain caused by intraperitoneal bleeding from the tumor.
胃肠道间质瘤(GISTs)发生于消化道,主要位于胃、小肠、结肠或食管。然而,已有报道称,发生于消化道外且具有与 GIST 相同病理特征的原发性肿瘤被称为胃肠外间质瘤(EGIST)。本文报告了一例罕见病例,即源于大网膜的 EGIST,患者因肿瘤内出血导致腹痛。
