Abstract
Adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of the stomach is a very rare tumor
comprising less than 0.5% of all stomach malignancies. Here, we report a case
of a 37-year-old male, who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding in
the form of hematemesis and malena. A subtotal gastrectomy was done in view
of massive uncontrolled bleed. Histology showed evidence of ASC of the body
and antrum with metastasis to the liver, perigastric lymph nodes and peritoneal
and pleural cavity.
