There is a great variety of abdominal calciffications of varying etiology. Among them, calcification in gastric carcinoma is rare. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no previous report of calcifying mucinous adenocarcinoma of the stomach in Korea. In the present communication, we report two cases of this rare tumor. The first case was 27 years old female who had anorexia and plapable mass in the epigastrium. By palpation, a firm non-tendor large mass felt in the epigastrium. A plain abdominal film showed numerous punctate calcifications in the left upper quadrant (Fig. 1). Film from an upper G-I series demonstrated findings of advanced gastric carcinoma with multiple punctate calcifications involving the antrum and body (Fig. 2). Gastroscopic biopsy proved the lesion to be mucinous adenocarcinoma (signet ring cell type). The second case was 38 years old female who complained of nausea, vomiting and weight loss. On physical examination, she appeared normal. Routine laboratory tests were within normal limits. A plain abdominal film revealed stippled calcifications in the left upper quadrant medial to the splenic shadow (Fig. 3). The film from an upper G-I geries showed a mass in the fundus and upper body of stomach with multiple stippled calcifications along th elesser curvature (Fig. 4). Subtotal gastrectomy was performed and the pathologic finding was calcifying mucinous adenocarcinoma (signet ring cell type).
