Abstract
MENENDEZ, Pablo; VILLAREJO, Pedro and PADILLA, David. Krukenberg tumor after gastric bypass for morbid obesity: Bariatric surgery and gastric cancer. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2013, vol.105, n.5, pp.296-298. ISSN 1130-0108. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1130-01082013000500009.
Gastric by-pass is one of the most performed surgical procedure in bariatric surgery. Neoplasm within gastric remnant is a slightly frequent complication (only six cases have been described) but with important survival consequences. We present a case of a patient who developed an adenocarcinoma in excluded stomach, after three years of bariatric surgery; the tumor was incidentally discovered after a gynecological surgery for uterine myomas. Different diagnostic modalities for the excluded stomach were analyzed.
