Case description

This image shows the contrast between normal folds and infiltrating adenocarcinoma. Findings suggest that the difficulty of detection and the rapid growth of this tumor may explain why it is seldom detected at an early stage and has a very poor prognosis. Opposed to the adenocarcinoma, Helicobacter Pylori seems not to be associated with the occurrence of gastric linitis. Familial forms of gastric linitis and breast cancer-associated forms have been reported.
