English abstract
Planning for treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma in a patient previously treated with partial gastrectomy for primary gastric lymphoma is difficult. Long term survival of advanced gastric adenocarcinoma is poor with therapy and even worse without treatment. The only potentially curative treatment for gastric adenocarcinoma is surgical resection with adequate margins. Palliative surgery ameliorate symptoms in about 50% of patients Chemotherapy may play a lesser role. This report presents a case of gastric adenocarcinoma in a patient who had primary gastric lymphoma treated with partial gastrectomy. The patient is still alive 6 years after diagnosis with no signs of progression despite the fact that no active treatment was given.
