Signs and Symptoms of Scirrhous Adenocarcinoma

Scirrhous adenocarcinoma, also known as linitis plastica, is a type of cancer that affects the stomach. The signs and symptoms of scirrhous adenocarcinoma can be subtle and may not appear until the disease has progressed to an advanced stage.

Common Signs and Symptoms:

Thickening and stiffening of the stomach wall [2]
Presence of a hard lump or mass in the breast (in cases where scirrhous adenocarcinoma affects the breast) [1]
Enlargement and swelling of lymph nodes [1]
Poor appetite
Unintentional weight loss
Abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, early diminished appetite, satiety, and weight loss [3]
Gastric symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, bloating, and gas [4]

Other Possible Symptoms:

Frequent need to pass urine (in cases where scirrhous adenocarcinoma affects the prostate) [7]
Diarrhea and right lower abdominal pain (in cases where scirrhous adenocarcinoma affects the colon) [8]
A change in a breast's shape or size, discolored, flaky, dimpled, or uneven skin on your breast or nipple (in cases where scirrhous adenocarcinoma affects the breast) [10]

It is essential to note that these symptoms can be similar to those of other conditions and may not necessarily indicate scirrhous adenocarcinoma. A proper diagnosis by a healthcare professional is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.
