The patient was a 71-year-old woman. First, three elevated gastric lesions with an appearance of submucosal tumor were observed on endoscopy, and on biopsy they were diagnosed as malignant tumors (probably anaplastic carcinoma) of unknown origin. One month later struma appeared, and both gastrectomy and thyroidectomy were performed. An anaplastic carcinoma of the thyroid and its multiple gastric metastases were found through histological examination of the resected specimens. Morphological features of these metastatic gastric lesions resembled those of common gastric metastatic tumors from various organs. Multiple submucosal tumor-like lesions located in the upper and middle third of the stomach indicate the possibility of hematogenous metastases. When these lesions are histologically anaplastic carcinomas, metastases from thyroid cancer should be considered.}, pages = {19--25}, title = {Metastases to the Stomach from an Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma : Report of a Case}, volume = {38}, year = {1990} }
