Same case as above which demonstrates the presence of suture material, cause of ulceration and bleeding of the g.i. tract. Nodulations caused by suture proved to be of similar appearance as scirrhous carcinoma. The suture material was extracted by use of special scissors which were introduced through the endoscope. Patient evolved satisfactorily and endoscopic control after 60 days proved normal. 72 year old male who was diagnosed with a pre-pyloric carcinoma in 1991.
Findings are commensurate with subtotal gastrectomy.
Note the small granulomas caused by suture material. Patient with total gastrectomy after a carcinoma of the fundus was detected. Same case as above. Observe the esophageal-jejunal anastomosis.
