A 52-year-old Caucasian woman presented with progressive nausea and vomiting, weight loss, and burning epigastric and chest pain. Initial oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) with biopsies demonstrated gastritis in absence of Helicobacter pylori A gastric emptying study, CT scan with pancreatic
A 59-year-old female with depressive tendencies was admitted suffering from hematemesis and abdominal pain, two hours after ingestion of an unknown amount of toilet bowl cleaner (hydrochloric acid, pH 1.0). A barium study 24 days after ingestion revealed rigid narrowing and granulation of the entire
Linitis Plastica (LP) denotes a diffuse, intra-murally infiltrating, anaplastic carcinoma in a hollow structure resulting in a shrunken organ with thickened walls. The neoplasm is encountered in every segment of gastrointestinal tract with the gastric localization being the most frequent and
The decreased incidence of gastric syphilis has made its clinical presentation less widely appreciated. A 61-year-old man suffering from epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting had an initial diagnosis of gastric carcinoma; the pathologic diagnosis was equivocal. Eventually, gastric syphilis was
The prognosis of patients with linitis plastica (type 4) and large (≥ 8 cm) ulcero-invasive-type (type 3) gastric cancer is extremely poor, even after extended surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. Given the promising results of our previous phase II study evaluating neoadjuvant Gastric adenocarcinomas are currently diagnosed at an advanced stage, related to non specific and late symptoms. Gastroscopy is the first examination to perform in case of recurrent epigastric pain, nausea, loss of weight, anorexia. Endoscopic diagnosis is usually easy in case of polypoid and
In some cases the diagnosis of gastric cancer is difficult and the endoscopic presentation may be misleading. Diffuse type gastric carcinoma with peritoneal metastasis may present primarily with abdominal pain, colonic infiltration and/or diarrhea, thus other differential diagnoses like Crohn's
Nausea and vomiting in patients with advanced gastric malignancy and mechanical obstruction are distressing and difficult to manage. We describe a patient with linitis plastica and gastric stasis who was treated with a percutaneous endoscopic duodenostomy as the stomach could not be used for
Breast cancer metastases to the stomach are infrequent, with an estimated incidence rate of approximately 0.3%. Gastric metastases usually are derived from lobular rather than from ductal breast cancer. The most frequent type of a breast cancer metastasis as seen on endoscopy to the stomach is
Herein, we describe an extremely rare case of gastritis due to concurrent infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) occurring in an immunocompetent adult. The patient was a 35-year-old man who presented with slight fever, nausea, anorexia, weight loss for 3 weeks, mild
BACKGROUND
Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare and obvious condition in the abdominopelvic cavity. Signet ring cell carcinoma of the stomach with gross appearance of linitis plastica is another rare association.
METHODS
We present a rare case of a 49-year-old woman presenting with persistent nausea
We report a case of Krukenberg tumor of gastric origin with adnexal metastasis, in which ultrasonography (US) and contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) played a key diagnostic role. An 64-year-old female patient was referred to our department for abdominal pain, nausea and ascites. US examination was
BACKGROUND
The role of gastrectomy in the face of incurable gastric cancer is evolving. We sought to evaluate our experience with incomplete (i.e., R2) gastrectomy in advanced gastric cancer.
METHODS
We reviewed 210 locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancers (1992-2008). Patient characteristics
Patients with locally advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (ie, stage ≥T3 and/or node positive) have high rates of recurrence despite surgery and adjunctive perioperative therapies, which also have high toxicity profiles. Evaluation of pharmacogenomically dosed perioperative
