Case description

An Endoscopic View in Gastric Linitis Gastric adenocarcinomas are further subclassified according to their gross appearance (polypoid, fungating, ulcerated, or infiltrative); their histologic features (intestinal or diffuse); and their location within the stomach (cardia, corpus, or antrum) A rare subtype of stomach cancer is scirrhous carcinoma, or linitus plastica, a poorly differentiated mixture of mucin-producing carcinoma cells that infiltrates the muscle wall and turns the stomach tissue rigid and leatherlike, limiting its distensibility.
