A liver metastasis 7 years after resection of a low-risk duodenal
gastrointestinal stromal tumor
Abstract
Duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (dGISTs) are rare, and a lack
of consensus exists regarding their therapeutic management particularly
for recurrent disease. We present even low-risk dGIST may metastasize
and require long-term observation, and a long-term prognosis may be
achieved by combining resection and imatinib therapy for liver
metastases recurrence.
