Gastric carcinoma represents only 0.05% of malignant paediatric gastrointestinal tumours. This condition is associated with a poor prognosis because its rarity and non-specificity of the symptoms usually delay its diagnosis. The authors present a 16-year-old girl with a poorly differentiated gastric carcinoma (signet-ring-cell type) with bilateral ovarian metastases who died of peritoneal carcinomatosis despite extensive surgery and chemotherapy. The epidemiological, clinical, and pathological features of gastric carcinoma in childhood are discussed.

Abstract
Gastric carcinoma represents only 0.05% of malignant paediatric gastrointestinal tumours. This condition is associated with a poor prognosis because its rarity and non-specificity of the symptoms usually delay its diagnosis. The authors present a 16-year-old girl with a poorly differentiated gastric carcinoma (signet-ring-cell type) with bilateral ovarian metastases who died of peritoneal carcinomatosis despite extensive surgery and chemotherapy. The epidemiological, clinical, and pathological features of gastric carcinoma in childhood are discussed.File in questo prodotto:
