Abstract
Dystrophic calcification in gastric carcinoma is an unusual finding usually associated with mucinous carcinomas. Psammomatous calcification is rare; indeed there are only seven cases reported to date. We present a case of a 73 year old male with tubular adenocarcinoma that revealed numerous globular shaped calcified bodies of psammomatous type within the tumor. The pathogenesis and prognostic significance are discussed.Entities:
