Gastroblastoma With Multiorgan Metastasis and Recurrence in a Child

Bin Xu, Wei Zhou, Wang‐Fang Xie, Wei‐Zhong Gu, Jing‐Jing Ye

ABSTRACT

Gastroblastoma is an extremely rare tumor. We report a case of an 8‐year‐and‐10‐month‐old boy presented with abdominal pain. Ultrasound examination found a solid lesion at the greater curvature of the stomach, and nodules were also discovered at the right adrenal gland and the splenic hilum simultaneously. Pathology confirmed a diagnosis of gastroblastoma with metastases. After 2 years of follow‐up, multifocal metastatic gastroblastoma in the liver and the left iliac fossa was detected and confirmed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in the English literature of a pediatric gastroblastoma with metastasis and recurrence.
