Abstract:
We report an unusual case of synchronous triple early cancers of the stomach, gallbladder and sigmoid colon. The patient was a 70-year-old man. Gastrointestinal endoscopy at a medical check-up initially revealed early gastric cancer. A thorough preoperative investigation showed a gallbladder tumour and early colon cancer. Endoscopic mucosal resection was performed for the colon cancer. Microscopically, the specimen showed well-differentiated adenocarcinoma involving the submucosal layer. Distal partial gastrectomy (D1) and simple cholecystectomy with lymph node dissection were also performed. The histopathological diagnosis was well-differentiated adenocarcinoma in the stomach (T1, N0, M0; Stage IA) and poorly differentiated papillary adenocarcinoma (T1, N0, M0; Stage I) in the gallbladder. The patient was doing well with no evidence of recurrence 6 months after surgery.

Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder
Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not related to...

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...
