- Figure 1.
Computed tomography (CT) findings. A) Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT showed a gastric wall thickening and rim-enhancing cystic mass, 70 mm in diameter, suggestive of an advanced cancer with intramural abscess in the greater curvature of the stomach. B) Abdominal plain CT after antibiotics treatments showed the persistent cystic mass.

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) findings. A) EGD showed an advanced gastric cancer in the greater curvature wall of the stomach. B) EUS showed a hypoechoic mass penetrating the muscularis propria and an irregular hypoechoic lesion following from the mass, suggestive of an abscess complicated by advanced gastric cancer.

Gross findings of the resected sample. A 82×65-mm ulcerated tumor and large abscess, 100 mm in diameter, next to the tumor were observed in the middle stomach.

Pathological findings of the resected sample. A, B) Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of the tumor. Tubular adenocarcinoma cells infiltrating the subserosa layer (single arrow). Neuroendocrine carcinoma cells were also confirmed inside the tumor (double arrow). C) H&E staining of the gastric wall. Abscess from the ulcerative site (single arrow) extended toward the serosa (double arrow).
