Abstract

Gastric cancer in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery is rare. The authors present a case of stomach cancer in a patient 6 years after adjustable silicone gastric band placement. The tumour was located below the band, not in its direct vicinity. Aetiological and risk factors of stomach cancer incidence in obese patients are discussed in this case study.

Keywords: gastric band; gastric cancer; obesity.
