A GOOD deal of discussion has recently taken place as to the liability of a simple gastric ulcer to become carciniomatous, and there is considerable difference of opinion as to the frequency of such an occurrence. The appearanceof carci-noma in the case of a long-standing gastric ulcer would be in keeping with the now widely accepted fact that it is a frequent sequel of irritation in any form, and would be a development that might quite well be regarded as both possible and probable. In the same way, considering th'frequency with which gastric lesions are now treated by gastro-enterostomy, followed as this operationi must be by the presence of a certain amount of scar tissue (also a Favourahle nidus for the cancer process), it wvould niot be surpr-ising if such an artificial opening niighit, in the course af years, become the seat of carcinoma. Relative to these two points the following case, which was unlder my care at the Glasgow Royal Cancer Hospital, is of interest, and, I thiiik, hassome bearing.A car-conductor, aged 52, married, was admitted on November 21st, 1921, suffering from a tumour of the stomach. The letter sent with the patient gave the information that he had been operated upon by Sir Kennedy Dalziel at the Western Infirmary Glasgow, in 1910, when gastro-enterostomy was performed. further stated that in 1920 he was readmitted there with a recurrence of gastric disturbance, and laparotomywas performed when it was found that there was a carcinomatous growth o the lesser curvature, stretching down the posterior wall and involving the new opening of the gastro-enterostomy. There were also secondary growths in the peritoneum beneath the left ribs. Under these conditionsnothing further was donie, anid the wound was closed. When admitted to the Glasgow Royal Cancer Hospital he was in a very anaemio andemaciated condition, weighiing only 6st. 11 lb., hisheight being 5 ft. 2 in. The gastric tumour could be felt on palpation. The clinical history of the case while in the Cancer Hospital was somewhat uneventful, buit he had periodic attacks of gastric disturbance, with some vomiting and, at times diarrhoea. The matter vomited was chiefly the food that he bad taken. He got gradually weaker, and died on April 8th, 1922.
