Abstract: As the prognosis of cancer patients has been improving gradually, gastrointestinal (GI) metastases will be encountered more often. Endoscopic examinations should be conducted carefully in patients with malignancies, and endoscopic biopsies and information on the patient's clinical history are useful for correct diagnosis of gastric metastases.

“…Metastatic spread to the stomach may occur a number of years after the initial treatment of the primary malignancy. The breast, melanoma, lung and esophagus are the most common primary sites of metastases to the stomach (2)(3)(4). The most common sites of metastasis in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which accounts for 2 to 3% of adult malignant neoplasms, are the lung (75%), lymph nodes (36%), bone (20%) and liver (18%) (5).…”
