Primary Extra-Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (E-GIST) of the Liver, about Two Cases and Review of the Literature Oncology Hospital Experience at Chu Hassan II in FES
Journal of Cancer Therapy(2023)
摘要
Introduction: Primary extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors (E-GIST) of the liver are rare. The clinical presentation can range from asymptomatic to bleeding or manifestations of mass effect. Cancer surgery followed by adjuvant treatment with imatinib is the standard of care. However, in special circumstances, a cytoreductive approach may represent a therapeutic option. We describe here the case of two patients who presented with a painful and protruding epigastric mass, the first case was a localized E-GIST candidate for neoadjuvant treatment with imatinib with complete resection surgery thereafter with very good evolution, and the second is that of an E-GIST of the liver at an advanced stage with an evolution very quick to death. Conclusion: Primary liver E-GIST is a rare condition. Treatment is based on systemic therapy and total resection surgery. However, cytoreductive surgery will be required when complete resection is not possible.
