Abstract:
Mechanical gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) due to malignancy can occur with cancers in the stomach and duodenum. GOO can cause perforation of the stomach or the esophagus. We present a 65-year-old female with newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic cancer who presented with acute onset abdominal pain. She was taken for emergent exploratory laparotomy where she was found to have gastric perforation and duodenal obstruction from an invasive large pancreatic head mass. This is a rare case report of gastric perforation due to a malignant gastric outlet obstruction secondary to invasive pancreatic cancer.

Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
