Abstract:
Here, we report a rare case of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) initially detected as a gastric metastasis. A 58-year-old man with epigastric discomfort underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy, which revealed a reddish semi-pedunculated lesion with a whitish coating. Biopsy and imaging confirmed clear cell RCC metastasis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a primary renal tumor with pancreatic and lymph node metastases. Despite chemotherapy treatment, the patient died after 10 months. Gastric metastases from RCC, although rare, should be considered in highly vascular gastric lesions with white coatings. Clinicians must be vigilant for metastatic diseases with atypical gastric findings.

Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management
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...
