Abstract

A 76-year-old man was diagnosed with type 1 early gastric cancer. Attempted ESD on the lesion resulted in perforation, and distal gastrectomy with D1+dissection was performed. After 1 year and 6 months, a mass measuring 2.4 cm appeared in the abdominal wall. Cytological examination revealed adenocarcinoma, and the patient was diagnosed with abdominal wall metastasis of gastric cancer. There were no evidences of recurrence in the other organs, and extraction was performed. After 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years, the same metastases were found in the abdominal wall, and repeated extractions were performed. All 4 masses had resulted from the metastasis of gastric cancer, but the patient has been alive without recurrence for 1 year and 6 months after the surgery.
