Spinal Metastases from Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: A Case Report
Here we present the case of a patient with metastatic GIST to the thoracic spine presenting with acute spinal cord compression treated with surgical resection, in addition to reviewing the literature of previous patients with metastatic GIST to the spine. We recommend that patients undergo surgical resection with adjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.
