초록
We report on a case of malignant pleural effusion as initial metastatic presentationof occult gastric cardia cancer in a young woman. To the best of our knowledge, thisis the first report of gastric adenocarcinoma metastasized to pleura as an initialpresentation. Location of cardia and signet ring cell histology may contribute to themanifestation. Utilization of positron emission tomography-computed tomographywas helpful for proper diagnosis. For patients with such distinct clinical presentations,it would be appropriate to consider gastric cancer as one of the possible primary sites.
