FUENMAYOR, L et al. Carcinoma gástrico precoz mucinoso: Reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura. Gen [online]. 2007, vol.61, n.1, pp.58-61. ISSN 0016-3503.

Mucinous gastric cancer (MGC) is very rare. The incidence of MGC is about 3% among all gastric cancers and only occasionally detected in early -stage with a relation between advanced and early gastric cancer around 2.3- 21% and 0.3- 1% respectively. Early-stage mucinous gastric cancer represents 0.02 of all gastric cancer types. We report an unusual case of a 72 years old female patient with histological diagnosis of gastric Adenocarcinoma. A total gastrectomy was performed. Final diagnosis was that of an early mucinous gastric cancer involving the submucosal layer without lymph node metastasis.
