Abstract:
An 82-year-old woman with breast carcinoma died with carcinomatosis, confirmed at autopsy. An unexpected finding was the "linitis plastica" aspect of the stomach, resulting from diffuse tumor infiltration. The coexistence of two different primary tumors was ruled out with data obtained by immunohistochemistry and presented at Tulane Pathology Grand Rounds.
