Abstract
|
|
|
|
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract and occur most frequently in the stomach. The liver is the most common metastatic site of a GIST, and spontaneous rupture of the hepatic metastasis of a malignant gastric GIST is rare. We report the case of a 70-year-old man who presented with sudden right lower quadrant abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a spontaneously ruptured hepatic metastasis of a malignant gastric GIST. The patient was successfully managed with transcatheter arterial embolization of the hepatic artery.
