Abstract
Diffuse calcifications in primary gastric cancer are very rare, most of them being
found in mucinous adenocarcinoma. We present the CT aspects of a locally advanced
gastric cancer, which showed partial response to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. The pathological
features of the surgical specimen after total gastrectomy are also reported and the
pathogenesis of the calcifications is discussed.
