“…In recent years, a few cases of GISTs of the small intestine with hepatic abscess have been reported. Rodrigues et al 16 reported a case of small intestine GISTs with suppurative liver abscess, suggesting that differential diagnosis of abscess and liver metastasis in small intestine GISTs patients is needed. For patients without a clear source of suppurative liver abscess, GI lesions may need to be examined.…”

In recent years, the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) of the small intestine have been a hot topic due to their rarity and non-specific clinical manifestations. With the development of gene and imaging technology, surgery, and molecular targeted drugs, the diagnosis and treatment of GISTs have achieved great success. For a long time, radical resection was prioritized to treat GISTs of the small intestine. At present, preoperative tumor staging is a novel treatment for unresectable malignant tumors. In addition, karyokinesis exponent is the sole independent predictor of progression-free survival of GISTs. The DNA, miRNA, and protein of exosomes have also been found to be biomarkers with prognostic implications. The research on the treatment of GISTs has become a focus in the era of precision medicine, ushering in the use of standardized, normalized, and individualized treatment.
