* The external appearance of an affected [[Monogastric Stomach - Anatomy & Physiology|stomach]] can include thickening of the draining lymphoid vessels due to tumour infiltration ('cording of the lymphatics') and evidence of a scirrhous reaction to the carcinoma.

Adenocarcinomas are locally aggressive and spread via the lymphatics to the [[Lymph Nodes - Anatomy & Physiology|lymph nodes]], lung, [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] and [[Adrenal Glands - Anatomy & Physiology|adrenal glands]].
