A descriptive and retrospective study of the 28 patients with stomach cancer, surgically treated in "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from 2008 to 2013, in order to characterize them pathologically, for whom the biopsies records were reviewed in the Pathology Department. In the series most of the affected were from the age group 60-69 years (39.3%) and of the female sex (53.5%), and the well differentiated tumors (46.4%), the antral localization (71.4%) and the hystic diffuse type (60.7%) prevailed. Also, the metastasis presence in the ganglion (42.8%), of vascular and lymphatic infiltration (64.2 and 67.8%, respectively), and of Helicobacter pylori in the malignant neoplasia (35.7%) were evidenced.
