RICO, M. et al. Digestive haemorrhage in a patient with oropharyngeal cancer: A case study. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2009, vol.32, n.3, pp.443-446. ISSN 1137-6627.

Gastric metastases from solid tumours are very infrequent and in most cases appear simultaneously with other metastases. The most frequent primary tumors are lung and breast. Clinical data and symptoms are non-specific, and can range from abdominal discomfort to massive gastrointestinal bleeding. The diagnoses must be established by gastroscopy and biopsy. We present an unusual case of digestive haemorrhage secondary to gastric metastases from oropharyngeal carcinoma.

Palabras clave : Digestive haemorrhage; Oropharyngeal carcinoma.
