title: [Gastric metastases. Apropos of 17 cases].
abstract: Seventeen cases of gastric metastases are reported; some of them appeared after a long latency period. Two cancers prevail from an aetiological standpoint: melanoma (7 cases) and breast cancer (4 cases). Endoscopic appearance is often typical in melanoma, but suggests a primary carcinoma or radiation-induced lesions in breast cancer. Surgery is reserved to located lesions, but seems to have no incidence on prognosis. Overall mean survival is 11 months with a range of 3 months to 5 years.
