Overview
Patients with stomach cancer generally appear weak. Common physical examination findings include abdominal distention, palpation of an abdominal mass, and pallor. Leser-Trelat sign and presence of Virchow's node (left supraclavicular lymphadenopathy), Sister Mary Joseph nodule (visible periumbilical nodule), Blumer's shelf (rectal mass/shelf on rectal exam) and/or Trousseau's syndrome (migratory phlebitis) on physical examination are highly suggestive of stomach cancer
Physical Examination
General Appearance
- Patients with gastric cancer are generally weak due to weight loss.
Skin
- Pallor
- Jaundice may appear if bile duct obstruction occurs[1]
- Acanthosis nigricans: velvety and hyperpigmented patches on skin folds[2]
- Leser-Trelat sign: acute-onset multiple seborrheic keratosis lesions that are usually located on the patient's back[3]
Neck
Abdomen
- The presence of a palpable abdominal mass is the most common physical finding[5]
- Abdominal distention
- Sister Mary Joseph nodule: a visible periumbilical nodule that is highly suggestive of umbilical metastasis
- Splenomegaly
- Ascites: It can be the first indication of peritoneal carcinomatosis
- A palpable liver mass: it is often multifocal or diffuse, usually associated with an elevation in the serum alkaline phosphatase concentration.
Rectum
- Blood on rectal exam
- Blumer's shelf: Rectal mass/shelf palpable on rectal exam[6]
Genitourinary
- Ovarian mass may be suggestive of Krukenberg syndome[7]
Extremities
Paraneoplastic syndrome manifestations
- Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia[8]
- Membranous nephropathy[9]
- Trousseau's syndrome: hypercoagulable states[10]
- Polyarteritis nodosa[11]
