Abstract | RATIONALE: Strategy for hemorrhagic gastric cancer should both handle the potential life-threatening situation caused by bleeding and increase probability of long-term survival. For hemorrhagic patients with locally advanced gastric cancer, surgical resection is always the preferred option for the reason that it eliminates both the tumor and risk of rebleeding. However, the long-term survival after resection is still unsatisfactory. PATIENT CONCERNS: DIAGNOSES: In this case, a 58-year-old man presenting with gastrointestinal hemorrhage and hemodynamic instability was admitted to the emergency department. Gastroscopy and biopsy revealed a large hemorrhagic ulcerated carcinoma located in the antrum, gastric angle, and lower part of gastric body. Abdominal CT indicated an infiltrative ulcerated carcinoma with perigastric lymph nodes metastasis. INTERVENTIONS: OUTCOMES: Pathological examination confirmed that the patient received pathological complete response. LESSONS:
