In gastric carcinoma, tissue calcification is rarely noted. Most of the adenocarcinoma cases with calcification described in literature are gastric mucinous adenocarcinoma. We present one such case of a 33-year-old female with a brief review of literature. The multiple foci of punctate calcification were visible in images, gross specimen, and also on histopathological examination. This is an addition of a case to the existing literature.
