Title: A Ruptured Metastatic Hepatic Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Treated by Angiographic Embolization. Author: Jang SJ, Kwon JH, Han Y. Journal: Korean J Gastroenterol; 2018 Oct 25; 72(4):205-208.

The liver is the most common metastatic site of a GIST, and spontaneous rupture of the hepatic metastasis of a malignant gastric GIST is rare.

The patient was successfully managed with transcatheter arterial embolization of the hepatic artery.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
