[Gastrointestinal stromal tumor with primary hepatic unique location--clinical case].

The gastrointestinal stromal tumors are mesenchymal tumors whose primary extradigestive location is very rare (less than 10% primary liver localization). We present a clinical case of primary hepatic location of GIST in a 28 year-old patient. The discovery of this tumor is a chance, the patient presenting for non-specific dyspeptic syndrome and epigastralgia. During the presentation an abdominal ultrasound is performed which identifies an whell-delineated hepatic mass - 5/4 cm. Clinical and paraclinical investigations (CT, EDS, EDI, examination of the intestinal lumen with the videocapsula), confirm the diagnosis of unique hepatic mass of segments III-IV. The diagnosis is confirmed intraoperatory and we perform an atypical liver resection of segments III-IV (with 1 cm safety-margin). The histopatologic exam: GIST.
