Abstract

Abstract Primary hepatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor is an extremely rare type of liver tumor with an unknown origin and poor prognosis and usually lacking specific symptoms. This makes it difficult to make an accurate diagnosis. We report the case of a 56-year-old man with primary hepatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor demonstrating multiple heterogeneous lesions with intense FDG uptake in the liver on PET/CT mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma or sarcoma. Primary hepatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor should be considered among the differential diagnoses when multiple FDG-avid primary liver neoplasms are found in patients with malignant characteristic on PET/CT imaging.
