    Abstract:
    A 67-year-old woman underwent partial gastrectomy (por2+sig, stage IIIA) for gastric cancer. She was admitted to our hospital because of swelling of her left neck lymph nodes 20 years after surgery. A biopsy specimen revealed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with signet-ring cell carcinoma. We diagnosed recurrence of gastric cancer and gave chemotherapy, but she died of myelosuppression and disseminated intravascular coagulation 2 years later. On autopsy, we examined all organs except the brain, but the primary lesion was not recognized. We concluded that this case was late recurrence after partial gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer.
