Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer is relatively prone to metastasis, although distant metastasis is rare during the early stage of disease. Here we report a rare case of schwannoma-associated Virchow metastasis of a patient with early-stage gastric cancer.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 73-year-old man, diagnosed with early-stage gastric cancer, underwent preoperative scrutiny, and was only suspected to have Virchow metastasis. Owing to atypical metastatic findings, a lymph node biopsy was performed to confirm the diagnosis and to determine the treatment strategy. The pathology results of the biopsy showed a diagnosis of schwannoma, the patient was judged to be surgically resectable, and a laparoscopic gastrectomy was performed to achieve a radical resection. The patient is currently under outpatient observation with no apparent recurrence.
CONCLUSION: Systemic chemotherapy is generally administered according to the physician's clinical judgment, although the results of a lymph node biopsy contribute to a more curative treatment. When nonspecific metastases are found, it is important to make a reliable diagnosis and to select a treatment that achieves a cure.
