Abstract

A case of an 84 year old woman addressed for dysphagia is discussed. The endoscopic and histologic examination revealed a gastric linitis with cardial invasion.
Classically, there is no characteristic macroscopic description associated with gastric linitis. An endoscopic aspect considered highly suggestive for gastric linitis is presented.
