ABSTRACT
Squamous cell carcinoma of the stomach is very rare with a reported incidence of 0.09% of all resected gastric malignancies. We report here two cases of squamous carcinomas and a brief review of literatures. A 74-year old female was admitted because of epigastric pain and vomiting. Abdominal CT, UGI and endoscopic findings revealed a Borrmann type III gastric cancer on the posterior wall of the antrum with pyrolic obstruction and multiple liver metastases. Palliative distal gastrectomy with gastrojejunostomy was performed. The histopathologic diagnosis was adenosquamous cell carcinoma. She died of malnutrition and multiple organ failure 5 months after the operation. The other case was a 53-year old male admitted because of indigestion. Abdominal CT, UGI and endoscopic findings revealed a Borrmann type III gastric cancer on the greater curvature of the antrum with multiple enlargements of the perigastric lymph nodes. Distal subtotal gastrectomy with gastrojejunistomy was performed. The histopathologic finding revealed squamous cell carcinoma. He was discharged after FEC(5-FU, etoposide, cispatin) chemotherapy uneventfully.
