ABSTRACT
Metastatic cancers of the stomach are rare. Metastatic diseases of the stomach can occur with melanoma and other primary tumors of the breast, lung, ovary, liver, colon, and testis; however, breast cancer is the most common. Other rare malignant tumors that can involve the stomach include Kaposi's sarcoma, myenteric schwannoma, glomus tumor, small cell carcinoma, and parietal cell carcinoma. On the other hand, solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare soft tissue sarcomas, and most are benign; however, 13 to 36% may be malignant. Metastases may occur in extrathoracic sites, such as the liver, central nervous system, spleen, adrenal gland, and bone. We herein report a case of a 75-year-old man with previously diagnosed brain and liver metastases. He developed a stomach metastasis from a malignant solitary fibrous tumor and presented with gastrointestinal bleeding symptoms.
