A case of ossification in papillotubular adenocarcinoma of the stomach and a case of calcification in mucinous adenocarcinoma of the stomach have been presented. The number of cases of ossification and/or calcification in gastric cancer was only 39 cases including our cases in the world literature, in which only three cases of ossification were included. Our first case with ossification is the first one in the Japanese literature. Theories on the pathogenesis of ossification and calcification in carcinomatous foci are discussed.
