Since when is on the treatment of Imatinib ??? Are these lesions new of they are there since Imatinib started ?? Such lesions are known to occur because of imatinib. we could stop the tablet and observe for some time. Please attach all your surgery documents and CT scans/PET scans that you have. I will go through all docs and give a revert. If they do not respond to Stopping of Imatinib, Well have to go with a biopsy from those lesions.
