    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Gastrointestinal Pathology

    Background:

    • Anaplastic infiltrative adenocarcinoma, particularly the linitis plastica subtype, is exceptionally rare in pediatric populations.
    • Gastric cancer in children is uncommon, making unique morphologic presentations significant.

    Observation:

    • A 15-year-old patient presented with anaplastic infiltrative adenocarcinoma of the linitis plastica type.
    • This represents an unusual morphologic manifestation of gastric carcinoma in a pediatric case.

    Findings:

    • The patient underwent surgical resection followed by adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy.
    • Post-treatment follow-up of one year revealed no evidence of disease recurrence or progression.

    Implications:

    • This case demonstrates the feasibility of successful treatment for rare pediatric gastric cancers.

  • Aggressive multimodal therapy, including radiation and chemotherapy, can lead to favorable outcomes in select pediatric gastric adenocarcinoma cases.
