Linitis plastica in a 16-year-old. 1975

Ward B Hurlburt. Alaska Med. 2006 Jul-Sep.

Abstract

Gastric cancer is uncommon in the young. Occasional reports are found in the literature and reviewed here. This article reports a case of a 16-year-old Eskimo girl unusual because of her young age, the presentation with a perforation and the presence of a linitis plastica type involvement. Management was somewhat unique because of the prolonged use of outpatient total parenteral alimentation during her final months of life.
