[A case of coexistent adenocarcinoma and primary malignant lymphoma of the stomach].
A case of a simultaneous adenocarcinoma and a primary malignant lymphoma of the stomach is presented. A sixty-one-year-old male was referred to us with epigastralgia. Gastroscopy and a biopsy revealed a *** c-like lesion in the stomach and, on histological examination, was determined as being an adenocarcinoma. A proximal gastrectomy and an R2-resection of lymph nodes then was performed. A pathological examination of the resected stomach disclosed a malignant lymphoma neighboring the adenocarcinoma. The presence of a simultaneous carcinoma and a malignant lymphoma of the stomach is quite rare, with only twenty-eight documented patients reported in the Japanese literature. This entity is discussed.
