Abstract:
This case report presents the clinical details of a 42-year-old female without previous medical issues who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) characterized by melanotic stools. Initial examination revealed mild anemia and subsequent endoscopy identified a 4 cm submucosal gastric mass displaying recent bleeding indicators. Subsequent surgical pathology confirmed a high-grade gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) of grade 2 with a heightened risk of recurrence. The significance of this case lies in underscoring the necessity of considering GIST in the differential diagnosis of UGIB, particularly among middle-aged individuals with no identifiable risk factors such as recent or chronic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, peptic ulcer disease, or alarm symptoms. Early detection and prompt surgical intervention assume paramount importance in enhancing patient outcomes. While complete resection stands as the cornerstone of treatment, adjuvant imatinib therapy is recommended for high-risk patients to mitigate the risk of recurrence.
摘要:
该病例报告介绍了一名42岁女性的临床细节,该女性以前没有医学问题,该女性表现为以黑素性粪便为特征的上消化道出血(UGIB)。初步检查显示轻度贫血,随后的内窥镜检查发现4厘米的粘膜下胃肿块显示近期出血指标。随后的手术病理证实2级高级别胃肠道间质瘤(GIST),复发风险增加。这种情况的意义在于强调在UGIB的鉴别诊断中考虑GIST的必要性。特别是在没有可识别的危险因素的中年人中,例如近期或慢性非甾体抗炎药(NSAID)的使用,消化性溃疡疾病,或报警症状。早期发现和及时手术干预在提高患者预后方面至关重要。虽然完全切除是治疗的基石,建议高危患者使用伊马替尼辅助治疗,以降低复发风险.
