          Abstract

          Tem sido relevante o papel das drogas que interferem na atividade tirosina-quinase dos receptores c-kit, no tratamento dos tumores derivados do estroma gastrintestinal (GISTs), sobretudo em tumores volumosos. Relata-se o caso de um paciente do sexo masculino, 56 anos, obeso, com quadro de peso retoanal associado a tenesmo e à sensação de evacuação incompleta. Foi diagnosticado volumoso GIST de reto inferior de localização posterior, visualizado por ressonância magnética e confirmado por estudo imunoistoquímico em punção-biópsia parassacral, guiada por tomografia. A impressão inicial foi de necessidade de amputação abdômino-perineal do reto, pois havia importante compressão do canal anal e do aparelho esfincteriano. Optou-se, então, por indicação de neoadjuvância com mesilato de imatinibe (Glivec®) na tentativa de preservação esfincteriana. Após quatro meses de tratamento, apresentava, ao toque retal, redução significativa (cerca de 50%) do volume da massa e em menor grau à ressonância magnética. Paciente foi submetido à excisão total do mesorreto e anastomose colo-anal manual, com ileostomia protetora. Evoluiu com necrose do cólon abaixado, tendo sido realizada ressecção do mesmo e colostomia terminal ilíaca. O paciente recusou a se submeter a uma nova tentativa de abaixamento colo-anal, tendo sido fechada a ileostomia e restabelecido trânsito pela colostomia ilíaca. No tratamento dos GISTs de reto muito volumosos ou irressecáveis, deve-se avaliar a indicação pré-operatória do imatinibe, uma vez que a cirurgia radical deve ser sempre indicada, a fim de minimizar a possibilidade de recorrência local.

          The role of drugs that intervene with the tirosine kinase activity on the c-kit receptors in the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) has been considered very important, mainly in large tumors. We report a case of a male patient, 56 years-old, obese, presenting with feeling of rectal pressure and incomplete evacuation. Work-up revealed a large inferior rectal GIST located in the posterior wall, suspected on MRI and confirmed by immunohistochemical study of a parasacral biopsy guided by tomography. The supposed initial approach was an abdominoperineal resection, since tumor was compressing anal canal and sphincter complex. In order to save the sphincters, we have decided to refer patient to neoadjuvant treatment with imatinib mesylate (Glyvec®). After four months of treatment, a down staging of tumor was observed during rectal exam (about 50%), which was smaller on pelvic RNM. Patient was undergone to total mesorectal excision with manual coloanal anastomosis and protective ileostomy. He presented necrosis of mobilized left colon and underwent to resection, and terminal iliac colostomy. Subsequently, patient refused to undergo through a new coloanal anastomosis and remain with iliac colostomy after ileostomy takedown. In the treatment of unresectable or large rectal GISTs, the use of imantinib should be strongly considered, since that radical surgery is the main approach to reduce the possibility of local recurrence.

          CD117: a sensitive marker for gastrointestinal stromal tumors that is more specific than CD34.

          Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) represent a distinct and the most important subset of mesenchymal tumors of the GI tract. These tumors are both phenotypically and genotypically different from true leiomyomas and usually express CD34, a hematopoietic progenitor cell antigen. CD34, however, is also present in a wide variety of fibroblastic and endothelial cell tumors. In this immunohistochemical study of CD117, we evaluated 85 cases of GIST and more than 150 other mesenchymal tumors, including leiomyomas and schwannomas. CD117, the c-kit proto-oncogene product, is expressed in subsets of hematopoietic stem cells, mast cells, melanocytes, and interstitial cells of Cajal of the GI tract. CD117 was almost always (85%) expressed in both benign and malignant GISTs. CD117 was observed both in the spindle cell and epithelioid subtypes of GISTs in all locations. In addition to reacting with the CD34-positive GISTs, CD117 was positive in some CD34-negative cases. Approximately one-third of GISTs coexpressed CD117 and smooth muscle actins. In contrast, true leiomyomas (desmin and actin-positive) and schwannomas in both GI and peripheral locations were consistently negative for CD117. Solitary fibrous tumors and Kaposi's sarcomas, which are typically CD34 positive, were consistently CD117 negative. Among the CD34-positive tumors that showed occasional CD117 reactivity were dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (1 of 7) and hemangiopericytoma (2 of 10). Other mesenchymal tumors that were variably CD 117 positive included clear cell sarcoma (7 of 15), metastatic melanoma (9 of 25), and malignant fibrous histiocytoma (1 of 20). These results indicate that CD117 is a specific marker for GIST among tumors that occur in the GI tract and adjacent regions. CD117 expression also separates GISTs from true leiomyomas and gastric schwannomas.

              Neoadjuvant imatinib in a gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the rectum: report of a case.

              Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, and of these, GISTs involving the rectum are uncommon. This report describes a case of effective neoadjuvant therapy for a rectal GIST expressing the c-kit gene, where a laparoscopic ultralow anterior resection was successfully performed, thus preserving the anus. A 57-year-old woman visited our hospital due to constipation and was found by a digital examination to have a soft mass on the right wall of the rectum. Computed tomography revealed an 8.0 x 5.0-cm mass with an unclear margin adjacent to the rectum. A biopsy specimen was positive for CD34 and the c-kit gene product, but it was not positive for smooth muscle actin or S-100 protein, and thus the tumor was diagnosed as GIST. An abdominoperineal resection is generally essential for large rectal GISTs; however, she refused this operation. Neoadjuvant treatment with Imatinib decreased the tumor size (4.0 x 3.5 cm) and the anus was preserved by a laparoscopic ultralow anterior resection with direct coloanal anastomosis. She had no evidence of disease for 24 months postoperatively. To preserve the anus, a rectal GIST expressing the c-kit gene is best treated with Imatinib as neoadjuvant therapy.
