[Gastric epidermoid carcinoma]

ABSTRACT

The gastric localization of the epidermoid tumors is rare. Only 90 cases have been published since 30 years. The observation returned here is, according to us, the second of the french literature. The objective of our work is to raise the etiopathogenic particularities and diagnostic of this pathological entity. It is about a lady of 60 years, without pathological history, admitted for stimulating epigastric pain to 6 months, without hemorrhages. The physical exam was without particularity. The fibroscopic exam of oeso-gastric tractus had objectified a tumor of the stomach. The histological exam of the biopsies revealed a epidermoid carcinoma. The scanning had not shown locoregional extension. The surgical exploration found a tumor of the stomach without invasion of the neighborhood structures. A subtotal gastrectomy was achieved. The histological exam of the operative piece confirned the diagnosis of epidermoid carcinoma well differentiated. The follow up was simple
