Abstract

A 79-year-old man was aware of the swelling of the groin was admitted to our hospital in April 2014. Systemic computed tomography showed a lung tumor and inguinal lymph node swelling. The lung tumor was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma. He was transported to our hospital in May because he fell from the stairs. The laboratory tests revealed anemia and a large open of BUN/Cre ratio. Therefore he was suspected gastrointestinal bleeding. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed two submucosal tumors with central ulceration in gastoric corpus. They were diagnosed with metastatic gastric tumors. He was performed a blood transfusion and then discharged. But nine days after he died in hemorrhagic shock. We report a case of metastatic gastric tumor that became a clinical problem.
