Abstract
A case featuring very late and unusual metastasis of gastric cancer is presented. A 49-year-old woman presented with metastatic disease in the seventh cervical vertebra 9 years after a total gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma. The resected primary tumor was a Borrman type III, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma which had invaded the subserosal layer of the stomach and had generated lymph node metastases. The patient was treated for the metastatic tumor with sequential administration of cisplatin, calcium leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil and subsequent irradiation. Remission was achieved and she survived for a further 13 months without major symptoms.Entities:
