Abstract

Abstract:

Gastric metastasis from primary lung cancer is very rare, and the patients may present with common gastrointestinal symptoms but lack of specificity, leading to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. In this article, we share one case of severe anemia due to upper gastrointestinal bleeding who was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University. The patient was diagnosed as gastric metastasis from lung cancer after gastroscopic examination and biopsy of pathological tissue.

Key words:

Upper digestive tract bleeding, Gastric metastatic tumor, Lung cancer

摘要：

原发性肺癌发生胃部转移非常罕见，患者可出现常见的胃肠道症状但缺乏特异性，易漏诊、误诊。本文分享暨南大学附属第一医院1例因上消化道出血所致重度贫血入院的患者，经胃镜检查取组织活检后，病理诊断为肺癌伴胃转移。

关键词:

上消化道出血, 胃转移瘤, 肺癌
