[A Case of Ruptured Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor of the Stomach with Intraabdominal Bleeding].

A 50s man visited our hospital because of abdominal pain that initiated 1 day prior. An approximately 4.0×5.0×4.5c m tumor, which was in contact with the greater curvature of the gastric body, was detected on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. He was diagnosed with a ruptured gastrointestinal stromal tumor and underwent emergency surgery. During the operation, about 250mL of bloody ascites and a ruptured tumor measuring 6-7 cm in size was observed in the middle of the gastric body. Partial gastrectomy was performed. The histopathological diagnosis was GIST of the stomach. In the gene search, PDGFR-a mutation D842V was detected in exon 18. Therefore, he is undergoing a follow-up examination without postoperative adjuvant therapy even though he is classified as high-risk. Currently, the patient has survived for 8 months after surgery without recurrence. We should perform careful follow-up of the patient.
