J Thorac Imaging. 1996 Spring;11(2):150-2. doi: 10.1097/00005382-199621000-00005.

Abstract

A 48-year-old man with B-cell lymphoma of the stomach was seen with recurrent pneumonia, weight loss, and anorexia. A barium study revealed a large malignant gastric ulcer with a gastrobronchial fistula. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen showed a gastric neoplasm invading the left lower lobe of the lung and the spleen.
