Description
Issei Fukuda and co-authors present a case report of a rare tumor that erupted in many organs at once and caused life-threatening gut bleeding. The tumor type, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, is usually slow-growing and single. A fifty-six-year-old man arrived with black stools and hemorrhagic shock from a pancreatic head mass eating into his duodenum.
Doctors first tried to stop the bleeding through an endoscope, then by blocking the feeding artery, which bought time. Surgeons removed the pancreatic head for lasting control. Tissue tests confirmed the tumor type, with key gene markers negative. Scans then revealed deposits in the brain, parotid gland, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, and bones, an unusually wide spread. The report adds a dramatic presentation to the record of this rare disease.
