Abstract
Summary 1.Two cases of superficial spreading carcinoma with associated peptic ulceration are reported in detail. One patient is living over 10 years and the other 1 year since surgery. 2.The pathology, clinical characteristics, and prognostic considerations in superficial spreading carcinomas of the stomach are discussed. 3.The need of searching for these lesions is stressed, and serial block dissection is urged for all surgical specimens removed for gastric ulcerations. 4.The suggestion is made that all gastric resections for gastric ulceration include the regional lymph nodes and greater omentum despite the apparently benign gross appearance of the lesion.
