title: A rare association of Sarcina with gastric adenocarcinoma diagnosed on fine-needle aspiration.
abstract: Sarcina is a Gram-positive anaerobic organism, having exclusively fermentative metabolism and has been associated with gastric outlet obstruction. We demonstrate the present case to highlight the presence of Sarcina with a coexisting gastric adenocarcinoma diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology.
