Abstract
|
|
|
|
Surgical resection is the mainstay treatment for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Laparoscopic surgery can be considered for treating these tumors since their biologic behavior lends them to curative resection without requiring large margins or extensive lymphadenectomy. Despite complete resection, GISTs frequently recur specifically in the liver and peritoneum. Although they occur in other upper gastrointestinal malignancies, recurrences of GISTs at the port sites after laparoscopic surgery have rarely been reported. We describe here a patient with abdominal wound metastasis after laparoscopic surgery for GIST.
