title: [A case of acute empyema who underwent omentopexy and was found to have gastric cancer during operation].
abstract: A 76-year-old man had undergone omentopexy for empyema. He was found to have gastric cancer and revealed Borrmann III by gastroendoscopy intraoperative period. Segmental gastrectomy was performed without dissection of lymph nodes, because his general condition was poor. After operation, the patient showed septic shock, ARDS and hepato-renal failure but his condition was getting improved by conservative therapy. After 5 years later, he was examined gastro-endoscopy, abdominal and chest CT and revealed no recurrence sign.
