Abstract: An 86- year- old man, had undergone gastric surgery for peptic ulcer disease 40 years ago and he was diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma. Then he underwent a subtotal gastrectomy with regional lymphadenectomy, followed by Roux en Y gastrojejunostomy, and adjuvant chemotherapy. One and a half years later, the patient presented with a solid mass on his abdominal wall. Complete excision of the mass revealed a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma consistent with the primary tumor of the stomach followed by fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) scan that showed hypermetabolic activity in the liver and the para-aortic lymph nodes, suggestive of distant metastasis.
