Abstract
Primary gastric cancer is an extremely rare finding in young people. This applies to both children and adolescents [7, 9] and is true even for a sample of patients up to 40 years of age. According to McGill et al. [8], gastric cancer accounts for only 0.05% of malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal tract in children and adolescents. It is generally accepted that the manifestations of stomach cancer in young people practically do not differ from those in older age groups. Usually, developing gastric carcinoma proceeds under the guise of peptic ulcer and the correct diagnosis is made only in the later stages, which determines an extremely unfavorable prognosis for this disease. Histologically, gastric cancer in such patients is most often an undifferentiated adenogenic cancer with a diffuse-infiltrative type of growth.
