title: [More than 20 years of long-term survival case of intraabdominal GIST by combined therapies with frequent surgeries].
abstract: A jejunum partial resection was performed on a 49-year-old female for jejunum leiomyosarcoma of 7 cm in 1990. She was resected four times for recurrent tumors from 1993 to 2004. We started an internal use of imatinib in 2003, because we could get a diagnosis of GIST. After the surgery of 2004, she stopped taking the internal use of imatinib, but an intraabdominal recurrence occurred in 2006 and she restarted taking the internal use of imatinib.
