Lymph Node Metastases in Colonic Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal(GI) tract. It most commonly arises in the stomach, followed by the small intestine, colorectum and the esophagus. GISTs may show as either spindled or epithelioid cells or a combination of both. It shows diffuse intraabdominal spread and liver metastasis while lymph node metastasis is extremely rare. Here we report a rare case of colonic GIST with intraabdominal lymphnode metastasis in a 46yrs old female.
