Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are c-KIT positive neoplasm that occur predominantly in adults. A 13-year-old boy who presented with massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage was subsequently diagnosed with GIST of the stomach. The tumor originated from the lesser curvature with a narrow base and no infiltration into surrounding organs. Two metastatic lesions in the liver were also found. Total excision of the gastric lesion was performed followed by adjuvant imatinib mesylate chemotherapy. He has had no signs of recurrence during 8 months of follow-up. GIST in children are rare and their behavior is notoriously difficult to predict. We report our experience and review the literature.
