  • Title: Perforated malignant gastric ulcer in a pregnant young adult: a case report.
    Author: Jasmi AY, Normala B, al-Amin MD.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 2000 Mar; 55(1):135-7. PubMed ID: 11072499.
    Abstract:
    Gastric cancer in the young adult is rare and has been said to be more aggressive than gastric cancers of the older age group. Its unique association with pregnancy is even rarer. However, they have similar complications of haemorrhage, obstruction and perforation. We report a 27 year old lady at 16 weeks gestation who presented with a perforated malignant gastric ulcer and carcinomatosis peritonei. Reviewing the literature, we realised that such complication of a gastric cancer occurring in a pregnant young adult has not been previously documented.
