title: [Atypical metastases from gastric carcinoma. A primary and isolated case localized in the abdominal wall].
abstract: The authors report a rare case of gastric carcinoma metastasis localised in the anterior abdominal wall which was an isolated and primary sign of disease. After having underlined the rarity of the case, there is a brief discussion of aspects related to the spread of primary tumours in relation to other cases reported over the past decade; the most important reports of atypical secondary localisations are listed.
