Abstract

The patient was 66-year-old woman with anemia. A 6 cm GIST was diagnosed in the fourth portion of the duodenum using abdominal CT. Duodenal-jejunal segmental resection was performed for the GIST. Four years after surgery, multiple liver metastatic recurrences ofGIST were diagnosed using abdominal CT. The metastatic tumor was treated with imatinib, but the treatment caused adverse events such as leukocytopenia(Grade 2)and anemia(Grade 3). The treatment continued for 41 months while reduced or discontinued during the administration period. Sunitinib was administered, but the treatment caused a reduced platelet count(Grade 3), anemia(Grade 2), and melena(Grade 3). The treatment continued for 12 months while reduced or discontinued during the administration period. Regorafenib was administered and continued for 9 months. Thereafter, trancecatheter arterial embolization(TAE)was performed 5 times. The patient is alive 8 years and 3 months after recurrence.
