Prevalence of adenocarcinoma (OR 1.53) and metastasis to bone (OR 2.59), lymph nodes (OR 1.75), liver and peritoneum (OR 1.42). The mean overall survival was 4.16 months and a median of 3.0 months.Conclusion: The main primary site was the digestive system, and the identification of metastases was predominantly unifocal liver in both genders.
