Résumé

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors represent the most frequently encountered primary mesenchymal tumors. Whereas the liver and the peritoneum are known to be the preferential metastasis sites, no therapeutic standard has yet been established for the management of bone metastases because of their very low incidence. We report a unique example of a single humerus metastasis of a jejunal gastrointestinal stromal tumor.
