Background: Metastasis from gastrointestinal tract cancer is usually seen in the liver, peritoneum and lymph nodes and less frequently in ovaries, lungs, central nervous system and bone. Bone marrow is a rare region for metastasis and its involvement is associated with worst prognosis. Case Report: We hereby report cases of gastric carcinoma (poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, diffuse type) and caecal adenocarcinoma metastasizing to the bone marrow. Conclusion: Awareness about unusual sites of metastasis is necessary since these cases are associated with poor prognosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
