Early gastric cancer with widespread lymph node metastases; a case report.
The resected stomach from a 58-year old male patient showed a 4.3 X 3.2 cm, depressed (II c) lesion in the body, histology of which revealed moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma with invasion reaching the submucosa. Widespread metastases of lymph nodes including superior mesenteric and para-aortic ones were noted. The patient once worked in a mustard gas (Yperite) factory, and had chronic bronchitis. The exposure to this toxic substance was discussed in relation to the diffuse metastases of cancer.
