Case description

Another image of Rx. Upper Digestive Tract

Scirrhous carcinomas typically cause irregular narrowing
and rigidity of the stomach, giving rise to the typical linitis
plastica, or "leather bottle" appearance. Although some
are lobulated lesions in the fundus or body, others consist
of thickened, irregular mucosal folds and nodularity without
significant narrowing.
