Squamous cell carcinoma of the stomach
Abstract:
Squamous cell carcinoma of the stomach is a rare, unusual lesion which tends to occur at a somewhat earlier age than adenocarcinoma. Grossly and radiologically the tumor is indistinguishable from adenocarcinoma and may involve any portion of the stomach. Although the pathogenesis of this lesion remains unclear, most authors favor the "metaplastic theory" for the development of the tumor. In this case it is felt that the tumor probably arose from gastric squamous mucosa present congenitally in the lesser curvature.
