| Abstract |
The presence of squamous epithelium in the stomach is only occasionally encountered and is associated with prolonged mucosal injury. Squamous metaplasia in patients with cancer is relatively rare and only four cases have been reported in the stomach, all of which have been associated with squamous cell carcinomas. We present the first case of exuberant squamous metaplasia in a patient with gastric adenocarcinoma of the cardia. A 56-year-old woman presented with epigastric pain and weight loss. Endoscopy showed an irregular depressed hyperemic lesion covered with a whitish plaque on the cardia. A total gastrectomy was performed and the tumor in the subcardia was found to extend up to the proximal stomach with diffuse squamous metaplasia in the surface of the tumor and proximal gastric mucosa in contiguity with the esophageal squamous epithelium. It is believed that the squamous extension from the esophagus to the proximal stomach and the gastric adenocarcinoma occurred at the same time. Synchronous squamous metaplasia and underlying adenocarcinoma in the stomach is extremely rare. Recognition of this entity would be beneficial for clinicians to avoid unnecessary treatment.

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 March 2019.
All research outputs
#12,922,337
of 22,800,560 outputs
Outputs from Diagnostic Pathology
#306
of 1,125 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#119,446
of 263,976 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diagnostic Pathology
#21
of 59 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,800,560 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,125 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 263,976 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 59 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its contemporaries.
