Abstract
Appendiceal cancer associated with pseudomyxoma peritonei is a low grade malignancy and its extraperitoneal metastasis is extremely rare. We report a case of gastric metastasis of this tumor in a 76-year-old man. Two metastatic gastric tumors, which appeared after a 1-year interval, were successfully resected endoscopically. The patient was well for more than 3 years after the onset of the disease. To our knowledge, gastric metastasis from appendiceal cancer with pseudomyxoma peritonei has not been previously reported.Entities:
