Gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor with unusual skull metastasis

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) originate in the wall of the digestive tract from the esophagus to the anus. Approximately 25% of gastric GISTs are clinically malignant. Most often they metastasize to the liver, less commonly to soft tissues and bone. The clinical case of a patient with a gastric GIST, liver and unusual cranial metastasis is presented.
