Maternal gastric carcinoma with metastasis to the placenta: A case report

چکیده
In the current report a case of maternal gastric carcinoma with metastasis to the placenta is presented. Gastric cancer is a worldwide health issue, which accounts for ~8.6% of newly diagnosed cancer cases annually. However, the simultaneous occurrence of gastric cancer and pregnancy is rare; to date, only 0.1% of all cases of gastric cancer occur during pregnancy. Furthermore, among all cases of gestational gastric cancer, only six cases have been reported to exhibit metastasis to the placenta or fetus. In the current study another such case is presented. Based on the results of previous studies, further discussion regarding the diagnosis and prognosis of gastric cancer during pregnancy in the mother and fetus is presented.
