Case description

A folollow up endoscopy (one month later) Gastric Linitis Plastica: Initial Misdiagnosis is Still Common Endoscopy display of the same diffuse nodular thickening of the gastric folds. Due to the controversy of the case in one of the Social Security hospitals in El Salvador, we repeated the endoscopy with multiple biopsies(taken a total of 30 biopsies and send them to three different pathologists with intent to silence mouths) Endoscopy was performed approximately a month after the first and it was obvious that the endoscopic image belonged to a scirrhous carcinoma. We took only two seconds to determine the correct diagnosis at the first endoscopy.
