Mucinous adenocarcinoma of stomach with multiple foci of calcification: Addition of a case and a review of literature

Abstract

In gastric carcinoma, tissue calcification is rarely noted. Most of the adenocarcinoma cases with calcification described in literature are gastric mucinous adenocarcinoma. We present one such case of a 33-year-old female with a brief review of literature. The multiple foci of punctate calcification were visible in images, gross specimen, and also on histopathological examination. This is an addition of a case to the existing literature.
