[Bleeding of the upper digestive tract due to gastric metastasis of squamous lung carcinoma].

Bronchogenic lung carcinoma, melanoma and breast cancer are the neoplasms which have most frequently been reported to metastasize to the stomach. These lesions are usually located on the fundus and on the upper part of the gastric body. They are usually asymptomatic with the diagnosis being made at necropsy. We present a patient who developed gastrointestinal bleeding as the first symptom of squamous lung cancer secondary to a gastric metastasis.
