title: A case of gastric cancer associated to situs inversus totalis.
abstract: The situs inversus is a rare congenital anomaly, which is a more or less complete inversion of the abdominal and thoracic organs. We report a case of 70 years old man, without pathological antecedents complaining about epigastric pains associated to haematemesis, and whose gastric endoscopy objectified a gastric tumor. The pulmonary x-ray and the abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed the previously unrecognized situs inversus totalis. A subtotal gastrectomy was performed and patient had an uneventful postoperative course.
