Core Tip

Core Tip: In this report we present a case of gastric mucinous adenocarcinoma with calcification in the gastric wall on computerized tomography evaluation before and after chemotherapy. We explain not only the different theory of the calcification formation and variety, but also the relationship of calcification with prognosis. We hope the results provide new thoughts on tumor evaluation and treatment in the future.
