Abstract
We report the case of a woman with intracranial metastasis from an esophageal gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) with the mutation site in the 3' end of exon 11. Frontal craniotomy was performed with complete resection of the mass, followed by postoperative stereotaxic radiotherapy (SRT). Intracranial metastasis from GISTs is extremely rare; we found only seven case reports in the literature.Entities:
