Abstract
Adenocarcinoma of the stomach represents upwards of 95% of all gastric malignancy.
Calcifications in untreated gastric cancer are rare, but typically represent mucin-producing
tumor. We report the radiology and pathology of a patient who presented with gastric
wall calcifications on CT and a mucin-producing adenocarcinoma at pathologic examination
of a gastric biopsy specimen.
