Borrmann III type cancer measuring 5 X 4 cm, extending to the antrum and the upper portion of the body of the stomach, was identified in the body. Histologically, most of the tumor consisted of squamous cell carcinoma. Adenocarcinoma and a small nest of squamous metaplasia were observed at the peripheral wall of this tumor. The pathological diagnosis was adenosquamous carcinoma. In some regional lymph nodes, metastasis of adenocarcinoma was observed.
