Background:

Lymphangitis carcinomatosa is a rare manifestation of metastatic cancer.
Gastric adenocarcinoma can present with unusual metastatic patterns.

Observation:

A case report details lymphangitis carcinomatosa secondary to primary gastric adenocarcinoma.
Clinical and radiological suspicion preceded autopsy confirmation.

Findings:

The diagnosis was definitively established only at autopsy.
Review of the condition highlights diagnostic challenges.

Implications:

Early suspicion of lymphangitis carcinomatosa is crucial for timely diagnosis.
Transbronchial lung biopsy offers a potential method for histological confirmation.

Improved diagnostic strategies are needed for rare metastatic presentations of gastric cancer.
