gastric cancer, skeletal muscle metastasis, surgeryAbstract
Patients diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma may develop liver metastases or peritoneal carcinomatosis, but the presence of muscle metastases is extremely rare, with very few cases reported. We present a 44-year-old female patient with a painful tumor in her left upper limb. She was treated with surgery and chemotherapy for gastric adenocarcinoma a year before. By imaging tests and biopsy, she was diagnosed with a single muscle metastasis from gastric adenocarcinoma and underwent surgical exeresis.
