“…Nodules, solitary or multiple, sometimes ulcerated polypoid submucosal masses, as well as infiltrating constricting tumors have also been described (25)(26)(27)(28). The most frequent locations of gastric metastases are reported to be the middle or upper third of the stomach.…”

Abstract. Although gastric metastases have been estimated to occur in less than 2% of cancer patients, an increased use of upper digestive tract endoscopy allows for a higher detection of secondary gastric tumors. We describe the case of a 66-year-old male patient presenting with mild pain in the sternum and upper abdominal area. Physical examination revealed a right parietal skull tumor, with no other significant clinical changes. Upon exclusion of an acute coronary syndrome, upper digestive tract endoscopy was performed, showing the presence of an ulcerated tumor located in the gastric fundus. Histopathologic examination of the biopsy sample and immunohistochemical tests suggested a pulmonary origin of the gastric tumor. Whole body computer tomography showed the presence of tumors in the gastric fundus, left lung, liver, kidneys, bones and brain. Transbronchial biopsy of the lung tumor certified the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer, with the same immunohistochemical profile as the gastric tumor. Hence, it was considered the origin of the metastases. Biopsy of the skull tumor also had the identical tumor histology. Whole brain radiotherapy was performed for the brain metastases and subsequent chemotherapy was administered. Although non-specific, gastrointestinal signs and symptoms occurring in lung cancer patients should alert the clinicians as to the possibility of gastrointestinal metastases and prompt endoscopic evaluation.

“…5,10,11 On the other hand, the most prevalent primary sites of metastasis to the stomach are the lung, breast, skin (melanoma), and esophagus. Lung and breast neoplasia were the most common primary sites of gastric metastases in several series, 9,[12][13][14] and these findings reflect the high incidence of these tumors among the general population. Corroborating the data from other authors, the clinical symptom most frequently requiring an EGD in this series, was upper gastrointestinal bleeding.…”

“…Corroborating the data from other authors, the clinical symptom most frequently requiring an EGD in this series, was upper gastrointestinal bleeding. [12][13][14] Within the subgroup of patients with cancer of the esophagus, the symptoms justifying EGD were dysphagia and chest pain. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of metastasis in the symptomatic phase signifies a late diagnosis, at a stage which renders any treatment procedure ineffective.…”

Extra-pelvic spread of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the cervix to the stomach is extremely rare. We report a case of a 50-year-old woman who presented with dysphagia two years after diagnosis of SCC of the cervix. At esophagogastroduodenoscopy, there was a 1.5×1.2 cm sized ulcero-fungating mass at the cardia portion just beneath the esophagogastric junction which was biopsied for a suspected neoplastic lesion. Histologic and immunohistochemical examinations showed a SCC with characteristics identical to her original tumor from the cervix confirming gastric metastasis. Therefore, we report a case of endocervical SCC with metastatic lesions in the stomach 2 years after the initial diagnosis. (Korean J Helicobacter Up Gastrointest Res 2013;13:55-59)
