    Author: Papke J, Schreiber MG, Witzigmann H, Haroske G.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 2013 Oct; 138(43):2195-8. PubMed ID: 24132532.
    Abstract:
    HISTORY AND ADMISSION FINDINGS: A 67-year-old female patient got ill during holidays in USA with acute abdominal pain. She was discharged after symptomatic treatment and presented afterwards in Germany for further clarification and treatment. INVESTIGATIONS, TREATMENT AND COURSE: Following abdominal sonography, gastroscopy and CT scan with contrast medium, a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) was assumed. Thereupon a tumor extirpation with cholecystectomy and liver resection was performed. After laparotomy a solid fibrous abdominal tumor could be diagnosed histologically. There was no indication for an adjuvant treatment. CONCLUSION: In the international literature reports about these tumors are rare. A complete resection is essential; there is no data for an adjuvant treatment.
