Intussusception is a rare cause of postoperative intestinal obstruction in adults. Many retrograde intussusceptions occur during the period following gastrectomy. A 77-year-old woman visited our hospital because of detected gastric adenocarcinoma. She received radical total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy. On the fifth postoperative day, she complained of abdominal pain, and we found leakage at the esophagojejunostomy site and dilatation of the Roux limb and the afferent limb of the jejunojejunostomy. Emergency surgery was performed. Retrograde jejunojejunal intussusception accompanied with a nasojejunal feeding tube was found at the efferent loop of the jejunojejunostomy. No ischemic change was found; therefore, manual reduction and primary repair of esophagojejunostomy was performed. She was discharged without complications on the 23rd re-postoperativeday. We suggest that the nasojejunal feeding tube acted as a trigger of intussusception because there was no definitive small bowel mass or postoperative adhesion. We present our findings here along with a brief review of the literature.

Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is a rare tumor precursor which occurs more commonly in patients who have undergone previous gastric surgery. The non-specific symptoms and radiographic appearance of this tumor mimic those of other hyperproliferative conditions, making diagnosis difficult. This is a pre-malignant condition and may lead on to carcinoma of the stomach. Here we report a 57-year-old female with no previous gastric surgeries, who presented to us with epigastric abdominal pain. Her work-up included an upper endoscopy, which revealed fundic polyps. Her fundal biopsies were consistent with GCP.

Gastric complications following unintentional foreign body ingestion are extremely rare. Here, we report the case of a 59-year-old healthy woman who presented with nonspecific abdominal pain and an apparent gastric submucosal tumor that was incidentally detected by gastrofiberscopy. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery, which revealed an intact gastric wall with no tumor invasion, deformity, or evidence of a gastric submucosal lesion. However, an impacted fish bone was found.

Although signet-ring cell (SRC) adenocarcinoma is commonly seen in the stomach, it is a very rarely seen histologic entity in the bladder. It is difficult to distinguish primary SRC adenocarcinoma of the bladder from bladder metastasis of SRC carcinoma of the stomach only based on histological findings. In such cases, clinical findings and immunohistochemical studies may be helpful. We present here a 48-year-old male patient presenting with hematuria and abdominal pain. Computerised tomography of the patient revealed a gastric mass, peritoneal involvement, and thickening of the bladder wall, and histopathological analysis revealed SRC adenocarcinoma in both of the endoscopic biopsies taken from the stomach and bladder. Immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the diagnosis of SRC adenocarcinoma of the bladder secondary to gastric cancer.

Gastric carcinoma represents the second most common type of malignancy that contributes to cancer-related mortality worldwide. However, the geographic incidence of gastric carcinoma had changed over the last few decades, possibly due to increased hygiene, increased awareness of the importance of healthy nutrition, and increased rates of eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection. Gastric carcinoma consists of two pathological variants, intestinal and diffuse. Early cases of gastric carcinoma may be asymptomatic. However, advanced cases may present with significant weight loss, dysphagia, abdominal pain, vomiting, and even severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Patients at high risk of developing gastric carcinoma should be adequately screened at primary healthcare centers for early detection and effective management. Lines of treatment vary according to the stage of the disease but surgical resection of the tumor with regional lymphadenectomy remains the gold standard of therapy. This review sheds light on gastric carcinoma given the recent trends regarding its prevalence, risk factors, types, clinical picture, methods of diagnosis, possible lines of management, and the role of primary care.
