An endoscopic view in gastric linitis. A case report.
A case of an 84 year old woman addressed for dysphagia is discussed. The endoscopic and histologic examination revealed a gastric linitis with cardial invasion. Classically, there is no characteristic macroscopic description associated with gastric linitis. An endoscopic aspect considered highly suggestive for gastric linitis is presented.
