Upper gastrointestinal stenosis: a rare complication of gastric-signet ring cell carcinoma
Abstract
Signet ring cell carcinoma is a histopathological variant of gastric cancer that is increasing and is
characterized by a poor prognosis. We present the case of a young man who underwent this
diagnosis in the context of a rare complication such as upper gastrointestinal stenosis syndrome.
