[A calcified mucinous adenocarcinoma of the stomach--case report].
The paper discusses the case of a 44-year-old woman with an epigastric discomfort at Hiroshima University Hospital. A barium study of the stomach showed rigidity and a giant fold. A subsequent abdominal roentgenogram and CT disclosed calcification throughout the stomach wall. Thus, is hopes of effecting a cure, a total gastrectomy, a partial resection of transverse colon, a splenectomy and a pancreatic tail resection were performed.
