Abstract
|
|
|
Metastatic cancers of the stomach are rare. Metastatic diseases of the stomach can occur with melanoma and other primary tumors of the breast, lung, ovary, liver, colon, and testis; however, breast cancer is the most common. Other rare malignant tumors that can involve the stomach include Kaposi¡¯s sarcoma, myenteric schwannoma, glomus tumor, small cell carcinoma, and parietal cell carcinoma. On the other hand, solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare soft tissue sarcomas, and most are benign; however, 13 to 36% may be malignant. Metastases may occur in extrathoracic sites, such as the liver, central nervous system, spleen, adrenal gland, and bone. We herein report a case of a 75-year-old man with previously diagnosed brain and liver metastases. He developed a stomach metastasis from a malignant solitary fibrous tumor and presented with gastrointestinal bleeding symptoms.
