RESUMO
The information regarding the association of gastric cancer and type 2 Lynch syndrome is limited. Previous studies have reported that both entities may be present in the same individual in less than 5% of the cases. The most frequent form of hereditary colorectal cancer is the Lynch syndrome or Hereditary Non-polyposic Colorectal Cancer, which is associated with germ-line mutation mostly of two genes, MLH1 and MSH2, which account for almost 90 percent of all identified mutations. The hereditary diffuse gastric cancer syndrome is caused by a germ-line mutation in the E-cadherin (CDH1) gene; only about 50 families with this syndrome have been reported. We present a case report of a patient who was diagnosed with both syndromes.
