Abstract:
We report a case of scirrhous gastric carcinoma diagnosed by staging laparoscopy and discuss some literature reviews. A 60-year-old man was referred because of a choking sensation and weight loss, and gastroendoscopy revealed thickening of the entire circumference of the wall at the gastric cardia. Scirrhous gastric carcinoma was suspected, and biopsy was performed at many points and times by endoscopic examination, but the histologic findings revealed no malignant features. We performed staging laparoscopy, peritoneal washing cytology, and biopsy of the nodules in the abdominal wall. He was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination and has received chemotherapy. Staging laparoscopy is a useful method for diagnosis and determination of the management of scirrhous gastric carcinoma.
