BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare gastrointestinal neoplasms. The spontaneous rupture of a jejunal GIST is very rare and spontaneous rupture of liver metastasis from an intestinal GIST is even rarer with only a few cases reported in the literature. CASE REPORT In this article, we reported a case of spontaneous rupture of a liver metastasis from a malignant jejunal GIST that presented with active tumoral bleeding, hypovolemic shock, and hemoperitoneum. The patient was successfully treated with arterial embolization of the tumor. CONCLUSIONS In appropriately selected patients, arterial embolization appears to be an effective safe treatment for a GIST metastasis rupture.
