Squamous cell carcinoma of the stomach following gastric surgery.
The development of adenocarcinoma in the gastric remnant following surgery for peptic ulceration is well recognised. However, squamous cell carcinoma of the stomach is rare, with only 80 cases being reported in the literature and none reported following gastric surgery. We report a case in which a squamous cell carcinoma with only minute areas of adenocarcinoma developed 22 years after surgery for a duodenal ulcer.
