Case Discussion
Pathology proved gastric adenocarcinoma (signet ring type) causing linitis plastica.
On cross-sectional images of linitis plastica, the stomach is diffusely thickened with a small lumen.
Gastric adenocarcinoma (signet ring type), lung and breast cancer metastasis, and lymphoma are on top of the differential list for linitis plastica.
