Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • A patient with a history of gastric antrum carcinoma underwent sub-total gastrectomy.
  • The patient later presented with symptoms suggestive of rectal cancer.

Observation:

  • Barium enema radiographs confirmed a stenosing rectal carcinoma.
  • Surgical intervention involved an abdominoperineal excision of the rectum.

Findings:

  • Histological examination revealed the rectal tumor was not primary large bowel cancer.
  • The rectal tumor was identified as a metastatic manifestation of the original gastric cancer.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for gastric cancer to metastasize to the rectum.
  • Accurate histological diagnosis is crucial for identifying the primary origin of rectal tumors.
  • Understanding metastatic patterns is essential for effective cancer management and treatment planning.
