Total gastrectomy with immediate re-establishment of digestive continuity successfully treated a patient with gastric fundus necrosis due to acute dilatation of stomach. The very particular circumstances of onset of this major complication are outlined, diagnosis being dependent on radiological and endoscopic findings. In cases with necrosis of the fundus the extensive nature of the ischemic lesions as shown by results of histopathology strongly suggests the need for total gastrectomy in these patients.

Article Synopsis
- Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) is a rare cancer combining both carcinoma and sarcoma features, often resembling endometrial carcinoma, with a potential link to nulliparity (never having given birth) as a risk factor.
