A Case of Synchronous Four Gastric Cancer / 대한소화기내시경학회지

ABSTRACT

The incidence of synchronous gastric cancer is variously reported to be 2.07%, 5.22%, 6.5%, 8.6%, or 9% and has been increasing recently, probably with advance in the diagnosis of gastric cancer. Our case in presentation is a 70-year-old male patient who had total gastrectomy and esopbagiojunostomy done for synchronous four gastric cancer. Each has different histologic types, Some of these lesions are not suspected before operation and are found almost by chance during histologic examinations after surgery performed only to remove main lesion. So we report this case with a review of literatures.
