This may be used clinically so that gastric lesion in the presence of duodenal ulcer, are considered benign. However, the duodenal ulcer may coexit with gastric cancer, Although rare in incidence of coexistence of duodenal ulcer and gastric cancer, physician always should be alert in diagnosing of gastric lesion in the presence of the duodenal ulcer. Here, we present 60 years old woman with coexitence of duodenal ulcer and gastric cancer, diagnosed by endoscopy and treated surgically.
