Small cell carcinoma of the stomach: a case report.
A case of a gastric small cell carcinoma discovered incidentally by screening ultrasonography is presented. Ultrasonography demonstrated a subcardial metastatic lymph node and multiple hepatic metastatic lesions. Upper GI series and gastroendoscopy revealed a large ulcerated tumor in the cardia of the stomach, and a Borrmann type II tumor, 4 x 2.5 cm, was found in the resected stomach. We describe the radiological findings of the upper GI series, ultrasonography, CT, and gastroendoscopy, and review the literature.
