The association between gastric cancer and muscle metastasis is extremely rare. Few cases have been reported in the literature. We report a case of a 68-year-old man, with a diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma by endoscopy and biopsy. A painful nodule on the right thigh became noticeable during chemotherapy sessions, where positron emission tomography and percutaneous biopsy diagnosed a muscle metastasis of gastric adenocarcinoma. This report demonstrates the importance of further investigation of muscle lesion in patients with gastrointestinal cancer and how we can diagnose and treat these lesions.
胃癌与肌肉转移的关联极为罕见,文献中鲜有报道。我们报告了 1 例 68 岁男性患者,因内镜和活检诊断为胃腺癌。在化疗过程中,右大腿出现疼痛性结节,正电子发射断层扫描和经皮活检诊断为胃腺癌的肌肉转移。本报告说明了在胃肠道癌症患者中进一步检查肌肉病变的重要性,以及我们如何诊断和治疗这些病变。
