ABSTRACT
Blumer's shelf indicates metastatic tumor deposit in rectouterine, or rectovesical pouch on digital rectal or vaginal examination, frequently from stomach, pancreatic, colon, or lung cancer. It underscores the need to carry out a thorough clinical examination. Though it is much discussed and described in the literature, there are hardly any article or image about its appearance on laparoscopy. We describe a case of gastric cancer with Blumer's shelf and its appearance on laparoscopy with clinical and radiological correlation.
