Gastric cancer (GC) is still the second most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In addition, gastric cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in Korea, Japan, China, South America and Eastern European nations, with the lowest frequency observed in the United States and Canada. Metastatic gastric cancer is a therapeutic challenge for medical oncologists, especially those with bone marrow metastases. Bone marrow metastases occur in many solid tumors such as breast, lung, prostate and gastric cancer [1]. Our case is about a woman diagnosed of gastric adenocarcinoma with signet ring cells presenting with bone marrow infiltration.
