RESUMO

Spontaneous regression (SR) of malignancy is a rare phenomenon, especially in patients with gastric cancer. A 77-year-old male, who was already diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma by endoscopic biopsy from a private clinic, was referred to our hospital. Despite our strong recommendation, the patient refused surgical therapy. A follow-up endoscopy was performed 3 months later, which revealed that the ulcer had changed into a white scar. Endoscopic biopsy revealed only chronic inflammation. Two and 6 years later, cancer recurred, and SR was confirmed both times, histologically, at the gastric body. The patient is still alive without any gastrointestinal symptoms after 13 years of follow-up. The cause of SR is yet uncertain and there are only a few suggestions of scientific mechanisms. We, herein, report this very rare case of repeated recurrence and SR of gastric cancer without clear cause.
