Abstract:
A case of gastric perforation caused by metastases of small-cell lung carcinoma in an 85-year-old man is reported. This complication revealed the neoplasm. Biopsy should always be done in patients with gastric perforations, even if there is no palpable tumor. Minimal surgery is warranted because this event occurs often in patients with advanced disease and poor prognosis.
