Gastric cancer in a teenager: a case report.

Background Gastric cancer occurs mainly in older patients, with a peak incidence over 60 years of age. It is relatively rare among younger individuals. However, the frequency of gastric cancer in young patients appears to be on the rise worldwide. Case presentation We report the case of a 19-year-old female soldier who, after a considerable diagnostic delay, was diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma. She is one of the youngest gastric adenocarcinoma patients ever reported in Israel. Conclusion This case should serve as a reminder that gastric carcinoma is a possible diagnosis even in young patients. It also highlights the critical importance of obtaining a thorough medical history in the process of clinical decision making.
