Gastrobiopsy in the diagnosis of gastric stump carcinomas

An endoscopic and histopathologic observation made on 152 cases with gastric symptoms occurring 5-35 years of free interval after gastric resection revealed a gastric stump carcinoma in 14 (9 per cent) of the cases. Research pointed out that previous duodenal ulcer prevailed as compared to the gastric one, and the stomal located carcinomas co-existed with severe dysplasia of the gastric mucosa in six cases.
