Case description

Another macroscopic aspect

Linitis plastica refers to the diffuse proliferation of the
connective tissue, resulting in tissue thickening so that the
stomach is constricted and rigid. Pathological exams
reported a strong connective stroma-reaction associated
with a malignant glandular proliferation of independent
cells (signet-ring cells), invading all the layers of the
digestive tract.
