Gastric cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. The occurrence of bone metastases (BM) in gastric cancer without prior gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms is a rare phenomenon that has been sporadically documented in the existing literature. We report a case of a 27-year-old male presenting with chief complaints of severe backache for one month. After an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and biopsy, the primary source of cancer was identified as a solitary gastric adenocarcinoma, supporting the diagnosis of bony metastases on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine. The patient was planned to start on palliative chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel {FLOT} regimen) with palliative radiotherapy of 20 Gy in five fractions to bony metastasis. The patient denied treatment and was discharged against medical advice.
胃癌是全球癌症相关死亡的第五大主要原因。在没有先前胃肠道(GI)症状的胃癌中发生骨转移(BM)是一种罕见现象,现有文献中仅有零星记载。我们报告一例27岁男性病例,主要主诉为严重背痛1个月。经过上消化道内镜检查和活检,确定癌症的原发部位为孤立性胃腺癌,脊柱磁共振成像(MRI)支持骨转移的诊断。计划让该患者开始姑息化疗(5-氟尿嘧啶、亚叶酸钙、奥沙利铂和多西他赛{FLOT}方案),并对骨转移灶进行20 Gy分五次的姑息性放疗。患者拒绝治疗,不听从医嘱出院。
