Sumario:We herein report a rare case of cutaneous and lymph node metastases that recurred 12 years after radical total gastrectomy for stage IIA gastric cancer. A 62-year-old man had undergone total gastrectomy for stage IIA gastric cancer 12 years earlier without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. At 12 years after the surgery, he was admitted for left jugular swelling. Computed tomography revealed supraclavicular lymph node swelling and precordial subcutaneous edema. The lymph node specimens and cutaneous biopsies indicated late recurrence of the gastric cancer. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy was administered effectively, but after eight months, the patient died due to deterioration in his general condition.
