A family history of linitis plastica may be present in patients with hereditary diffuse adenocarcinoma.^[1]^[2]

Symptoms

Thickening and rigidity of the stomach wall makes the process of digestion difficult and the patient may complain of:^[2]^[1]

-*Diffuse gastric [[adenocarcinoma]] or linitis plastica remains asymptomatic for a long time before diagnosis.
