A 67-year-old woman experienced persistent vomiting due to gastric folds that failed to disappear with air insufflation. This led to a diagnosis of linitis plastica and subsequent stomach resection.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Recurrent vomiting can indicate various gastrointestinal pathologies.
  • Endoscopic evaluation is crucial for diagnosing gastric conditions.

Observation:

  • A 67-year-old female patient presented with persistent vomiting.
  • Gastric folds remained non-disappearing following air insufflation during examination.

Findings:

  • The persistent gastric folds were indicative of linitis plastica, a type of stomach cancer.
  • Linitis plastica was confirmed as the diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis of linitis plastica is critical for effective treatment.
  • Surgical intervention, such as stomach resection, may be necessary for advanced cases.
