The stomach is over-distended and contrast-filled due to gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). Asymmetrical increased wall thickness is present at the pylorus, accompanied by mild surrounding fat stranding and a few regional enlarged lymph nodes.
Case Discussion
The patient underwent an endoscopy and biopsy, and histopathology evaluation confirmed pyloric adenocarcinoma.
A duodenal or gastric peptic ulcer and then adenocarcinoma are the most common cause of gastric outlet obstruction.
