Abstract:
Plummer-Vinson syndrome has been brought to attention as a precancerous lesion of hypopharyngeal and cervical lesions of the esophagus, but that involving the stomach is uncommon. We report a case of Plummer-Vinson syndrome with gastric cancer. A brief literature review of this disorder is presented, and possible causes in this unusual case are discussed.
