- Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare and account for 0.1%-3% of all gastrointestinal neoplasms. GISTs are most commonly located in the stomach (60%) and 20%-25% are malignant, with metastases involving the peritoneum or the liver. Cystic liver metastases are extremely rare. Only two previous cases of patients with cystic liver metastases, prior to treatment with imatinib mesylate, have been described so far.
