F:
Thickening
of the wall
of the stomach - especially near the antrum. Large nodules
between the abdominal artery and the inferior caval vene. Hypodense lesion,
1,2 cm in diameter, in the right lobe of the liver. Filling defect
of the V. mesenterica superior.
H:
Adult
woman, 72-years-old, admitted with abdominal pain. Weight loss.
INFO/WWW-LINKS:
The incidence of gastric
cancer decreases. Carcinoma of the stomach involves in 50% the pylorus,
25% the lesser curve and in 10% the cardia. These usually adenocarcinomas
may be a polypoid intramural mass, noninfiltrating but ulcerating, infiltrating
and ulcerating, diffuse infiltrating process (linitis plastica). Predisposing
factors: H. pylori, adenomatous polyps, pernicious anaemia, atrophic gastritis
Thrombosis is a common event in clincal medicine, e.g. caused by immobility.
Less commonly there is thrombosis resulting from hypercoagulability - e.g.
in cancer, inflammatory disorders, myeloproliferative disorders or in pregnancy.
Congenital reasons are e.g. Antithrombin III deficiency
D:
Carcinoma
of the stomach with metastasis in the liver and the paraaortal lymphnodes. Thrombosis
of the superior mesenteric vein.
