@entity1 @entity5 @entity189 @entity418 @entity3 @entity356
@entity418 metastatic to the stomach was analyzed in 35 @entity1 . Ten were discovered in surgical specimens and 25 at autopsy. All @entity1 were @entity1 with a mean age of 62 years. Primary lesions were most frequently located in the middle of thoracic esophagus and were larger than 7 cm. @entity189 was found in 29% of the @entity1 . Local spread of the primary lesions to neighboring structures was seen in 34%. Lymphatic invasion, and intramural @entity3 within the esophagus, as well as lymph node @entity3 , were predominant. Metastatic lesions within the stomach were mostly located in the @entity356 , were less than 2 cm or more than 4 cm in size, and resembled @entity5 . Gastric @entity3 occasionally spread from the submucosa to neighboring structures. In spite of aggressive treatment, the prognosis was extremely poor because of multiple spread of @entity189 to local regions, lymph nodes, and distant organs. The clinicopathologic characteristics of this disease and possible treatment are discussed.
