[A case of an exogastric developing-type carcinoma of the stomach and a review of thirty nine cases reported in Japan]

Abstract

One personally handled case of an exogastric developing-type carcinoma of the stomach and 39 other cases reported in Japan are discussed in this study. Twenty-seven cases mainly involved an abdominal tumor. As to the developing region, it was frequently in the greater curvature of the antrum. By tissue type, many undifferentiated medullary cancers were noted. With regard to treatment, many researchers recommend the excision of the other complicated organs. Survival for more than postoperative 1 year were as few as 4 cases, including the case handled.
