  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 A man 58 years of age visited our hospital complainng of unpleasant sensation in the epigastrium along with loss of appetite. In the course of treatment for kissing ulcers found in the gastric body, a minute Ⅱc type cancer was detected on the anterior wall of the angle region. The clue that led us to examine the stomach in great detail was a slight stricture of the lesser curvature above the angle as revealed by a barium-filled picture. In double contrast study the tiny Ⅱ c lesion was seen as a thin barium fleck with spots of denser shadow among it. On the greater curvature side the margin of the thin barium fleck was accompanied with a shadow suggestive of a small elevation bordered by sulcus-like shadows. On the distal side was seen sharply outlined rugal convergency.

 By x-ray alone it was hard to tell whether or not it was Ⅱc or ulcer scar. The utmost we could do then was to suspect Ⅱc. Endoscopy too did not reveal any finding suggestive of malignancy. It was biopsy that clinched the qualitative diagnosis: In two of three specimens was adenocarinama revealed.

 Even macroscopically the resected stomach hardly displayed any chang that suggested cancer. It was only after histologic study of serial sections of the specimens that we were able to further confirm the diagnosis. It was adenocarcinoma tubulare, CAT 2, SAT 2, m, with a size of 4×5 mm, located on the margins of the central portion of an ulcer scar.

 The positive rate of accurate diagnosis for minute cancer achieved by x-ray is said to be 23.0 per cent, by endoscopy 29.1 per cent, and when both are coemployed it is held to be 39.3 per cent. Biopsy shows the poorest results: it is no more than 7.6 per cent. Altogether diagnosis of minuie carcinoma is hard to make accurately. In view of slight constriction on the lesser curvature above the angle in the present case that resulted in preoperative diagnosis by x-ray and endoscopy, careful evaluation even of a slightest change seems essential for the diagnosis of minute cancer. Also indispensable are appropriate various combinations of various examination procedures.

 Kissing ulcers in the body proved to be of benign nature and was almost in scarring stage. Both lesions on each side of the wall were diagnosed as Ul-Ⅲ ulcer.
