None:
A 76-year-old man presented to our hospital with a chief complaint of abdominal pain. Cholecystitis or cholecystic carcinoma was suspected on computed tomography(CT);however, no malignant findings were found on endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS), and a diagnosis of acute cholecystitis was established. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy(GS)was performed, which revealed a type 3 lesion on the posterior wall of the upper gastric body. Cholecystitis did not improve, and emergency surgery was performed. The gallbladder was found to have metastatic involvement originating from gastric cancer.
