INTRODUCTION Coexistence of a primary gastric lymphoma and a gastric adenocarcinoma is a rare event. The diagnosis is suspected after the pathologic examination of the endoscopic biopsies and definitely documented with the examination of the surgical specimen. CASE PRESENTATION We are presenting a rare case of a 77-year-old Greek man with epigastric pain of one and a half month duration, naus...

A series of primary gastric lymphomas and adenocarcinomas was reviewed to assess the prevalence of lymphocytic gastritis in these conditions. Lymphocytic gastritis was more prevalent in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma (16 of 130 cases; 12.3%) and primary gastric lymphoma (six of 45 cases; 13.7%) than in unselected patients undergoing endoscopy (0.83-2.5%). This suggests that these two disp...

Gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic gland type is extremely rare. A 78-year-old Japanese man with carcinomatosis of unknown primary origin underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The endoscopy revealed an elevated lesion with central ulcer (1.3 × 2 × 1.5 cm) in the gastric corpus of fundic gland area. One biopsy was taken. The biopsy showed well differentiated adenocarcinoma. The adenocarcinom...

 Background: Gastric and colorectal adenocarcinoma are the second and the fifth most common cancers in Iran, respectively. Expression of cytokeratin 7 (CK7) is established in most malignancies including gastric and colorectal adenocarcinoma. Demonstration of Ck7 could be related to prognostic factors and help to the better management of the patients. The objective of our study was to evalu...

Approximately 23,000 new gastric cancer cases and 12,000 associated deaths occur annually in the United States. Intestinal metaplasia and gastric epithelial dysplasia are precursor lesions to gastric adenocarcinoma, but are not readily detectable clinically, radiographically, or endoscopically. A noninvasive method of precursor detection would require the ability to distinguish precursor lesion...

BACKGROUND Cutaneous metastasis of gastric adenocarcinoma is rare and usually presents in men, as nodules over the abdomen. We present the case of a woman with cutaneous metastasis of gastric adenocarcinoma showing unusual clinicopathological features. CASE REPORT A 37-year-old woman developed florid cutaneous metastasis over the skin of the left breast two years after total gastrectomy for a...

Gastric adenocarcinoma with yolk sac tumor (YST) differentiation has rarely been reported. We report a case of primary gastric adenocarcinoma with yolk sac tumor differentiation and liver metastases of the YST component in a 50-years-old patient. This was suspected due to high serum level of alpha fetoprotein in the presence of a gastric fundal tumor. Gastric carcinoma with yolk sac tumor compo...

BACKGROUND Ectopic gastric mucosa (EGM) otherwise termed gastric heterotopia or gastric inlet patch occurs in approximately 2.5% of the population. Adenocarcinoma uncommonly involves the upper oesophagus, rarely arising from gastric heterotopia or submucosal glands. Currently, there are 58 cases in the literature of oesophageal adenocarcinoma arising within areas of EGM. To date no paper has di...

adenocarcinoma of the stomach was the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide through most of the 20th century. usual presentations of gastric cancer include anorexia, epigastric pain or discomfort and weakness. rarely, patients present with unusual clinical manifestations. in this article, we report two cases with uncommon presentations of gastric adenocarcinoma. the first patient was ...
