A Very Rare Cause of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Gastric Metastasis From Colon Cancer.

Metastasis to the stomach constitute a very small part of all gastric cancers. It can be manifested as upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The management of bleeding due to colon cancer metastasis to the stomach is difficult and the patient prognosis is poor since patients have advanced stage disease and effective treatment methods are limited. There is no guideline regarding management of gastric metastasis of other cancers. Gastric metastasis from colon cancer is a very rare finding in endoscopy. Here, we present a case of gastric metastasis of colon cancer presenting with melena, which was controlled by argon plasma coagulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
