She was operated on for advanced gastric carcinoma (partial distal gastrectomy) (stage IV) one year prior to this admission. Upper gastrointestinal series demonstrated a large mass (4.5×5.0cm) around the gastroduodenostomy site. Abdominal CT scan revealed several enlarged lymph nodes around the aorta.
