AN AUTOPSY CASE OF EXOGASTRIC DEVELOPING OF THE STOMACH

Abstract

A 76-year-old male with a 7-year history of respiratoty insufficiency died due to carcinoma of the stomach. Borrmann 2-type gastric carcinoma (5×4 cm) in the greater curvature of the gastric body and a necrotic, cystic tumor (20×16×18 cm) had grown exophysically from the gastric wall, as revealed by autopsy examination. Histological findings showed papillary adenocarcinoma involving s. s. and direct extension of the abovementioned tumor. We reported the case as gastric carcinoma, with a rare, massive gastric tumor.
