Primary lung cancer is very common and fatal. However, cases of primary lung cancer with gastrointestinal metastases are relatively rare. We present a case of gastric metastasis from primary lung adenocarcinoma with clinical manifestations including dyspepsia and weight loss. The patient was initially thought to undergo chemotherapy-induced side effects but later diagnosed as gastric metastasis from primary lung cancer (GMLC) through special immunohistochemical staining of tissue for thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) and cytokeratin-7 (CK-7). Since the gastrointestinal (GI) tract remains a rare site of metastasis of primary lung cancer, GMLC is primarily described in case series. The incidence is considered underestimated, and the main reason is that it mostly presents with asymptomatic and nonspecific symptoms which sometimes may be regarded as the side effects of chemotherapy, hence misidentified as primary gastric cancer. Complications such as acute gastric bleeding and gastric perforation occur in patients with gastric metastasis and may result in death in severe cases. The presentation of gastric metastasis is difficult to differentiate from primary gastric cancer under endoscopy, leading to misdiagnosis and inadequate treatment. As the histological appearance of primary lung cancer with gastric metastasis is highly similar to that of primary gastric cancer, immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining is needed to assist in differential diagnosis.
