The case of a seventy year old woman with delayed diagnosis of stomach cancer due to misinterpretation of signs and symptoms is presented. A few months earlier a gall bladder tuberculosis was found in this patient. Abdominal symptoms which appeared afterwards were therefore interpreted as manifestation of tuberculosis until the thorough examination allowed diagnosing a gastric cancer.
