Abstract
- The clinical outcome of early gastric cancer (EGC) has gradually been improving, and the 5-year survival rate for patients with EGC has been reported to exceed 85% in most studies. However, in some rare cases, EGC is associated with distant metastasis. Bone metastases from stomach cancer are usually osteolytic lesions. Although there have been a few reports of EGC with bone marrow metastasis, cases of triple EGC with bone marrow metastasis are rare. We report a 50-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with triple EGC with bone marrow metastasis. This case can be considered to be rare because the patient had no spread of the disease to other organs.
