Abstract
Background: Linitis plastica due to metastatic involvement of the stom ach wall is rare and most commonly seen in patients with breast carcin oma. Endosonography has been shown to be accurate in the diagnosis of gastric linitis. Patient: A 61-year-old man who presented with haemorr hagic cystitis. Results: Secondary linitis plastica due to bladder can cer. Conclusion: In this patient, the endoscopic ultrasonography patte rn met all the criteria for a primary gastric linitis plastica and, th erefore, cannot be used to differentiate this condition from metastati c disease.
