title: [A histopathological study of gastric cancer with liver metastasis, with special reference to poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the medullary type].
abstract: Thirty-nine gastric cancer patients with liver metastasis on laparotomy were histologically analyzed. Poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the medullary type was the most common histologic type followed by papillary adenocarcinoma. Analysis of 32 gastric cancer patients who manifested liver metastasis after the operation showed that papillary adenocarcinoma and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the medullary type were frequent. We conclude that poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the medullary type is the most common histologic type of gastric carcinoma metastasizing to the liver.
