==Overview==
Stomach cancer must be differentiated from [[gastric lymphoma]], [[gastric]] [[metastasis]], [[gastritis]], benign gastric [[ulcer]], menetrier disease.
Stomach cancer must be differentiated from other diseases presenting with episodic abdominal pain, weight loss and loss of appetite such as [[gastric lymphoma]], [[gastric]] [[metastasis]], [[gastritis]], [[benign]] gastric [[ulcer]], [[Ménétrier's disease|Menetrier's disease]].
==Differential diagnosis==
The differential can be broad and includes:
 
*[[Gastric lymphoma]]
 
*Gastric metastasis
 
*Gastric stromal [[tumour]] (GIST)
*[[Gastritis]]
*Benign gastric (peptic) [[ulcer]]
*Menetrier disease
*Secondary changes from [[pancreatitis]] (from extrinsic inflammatory change)

Overview

Stomach cancer must be differentiated from other diseases presenting with episodic abdominal pain, weight loss and loss of appetite such as gastric lymphoma, gastric metastasis, gastritis, benign gastric ulcer, Menetrier's disease.

Differential Diagnosis

Stomach cancer must be differentiated from other diseases presenting with episodic abdominal pain, weight loss and loss of appetite. The differentials include the following:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Disease Cause Symptoms Diagnosis Other findings
Pain Nausea

&

Vomiting

Heartburn Belching or

Bloating

Weight loss Loss of

Appetite

Stools Endoscopy findings
Location Aggravating Factors Alleviating Factors
Acute gastritis Food Antacids ? ? ? - ? Black stools -
Chronic gastritis Food Antacids ? ? ? ? ? - H. pylori gastritis

Lymphocytic gastritis

  • Enlarged folds
  • Aphthoid erosions
 -
Atrophic gastritis Epigastric pain - - ? - ? ? - H. pylori

Autoimmune

Autoimmune gastritis diagnosis include:

Crohn's disease - - - - - ? ?
  • Mucosal nodularity with cobblestoning
  • Multiple aphthous ulcers
  • Linier or serpiginous ulcerations
  • Thickened antral folds
  • Antral narrowing
  • Hypoperistalsis
  • Duodenal strictures
GERD
  • Lower esophageal sphincter abnormalities
  • Spicy food
  • Tight fitting clothing
 ?

(Suspect delayed gastric emptying)

? - - - - Other symptoms:

Complications

Peptic ulcer disease 
Duodenal ulcer
  • Pain aggravates with empty stomach

Gastric ulcer

  • Pain aggravates with food
  • Pain alleviates with food
 ? ? - - - Gastric ulcers
  • Discrete mucosal lesions with a punched-out smooth ulcer base with whitish fibrinoid base
  • Most ulcers are at the junction of fundus and antrum
  • 0.5-2.5cm

Duodenal ulcers

Other diagnostic tests
Gastrinoma - - ?

(suspect gastric outlet obstruction)

? - - - Useful in collecting the tissue for biopsy

Diagnostic tests

Gastric Adenocarcinoma - - ? ? ? ? ? Esophagogastroduodenoscopy
  • Multiple biopsies are taken to establish the diagnosis
 Other symptoms
Primary gastric lymphoma - - - - - ? - - Useful in collecting the tissue for biopsy Other symptoms
