[Intramural esophageal metastasis of diffuse, infiltrative gastric adenocarcinoma].

: Authors report a patient with a gastric carcinoma that developed an intramural metastasis to the oesophagus. The diagnosis of the metastasis was suggested on endoscopy and was verified by pathohistology. Preoperative investigations suggested advanced cancer. During the operation an inoperable tumour was found. Authors describe the methods to diagnose oesophageal metastasis.
