Linitis Plastica classification #42

Is there a citation for this precise usage of the term?

Most usages of the term "Linitis Plastica" refer to the cancer rather than the finding, e.g. https://eurjmedres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/2047-783X-16-1-29

It is possible that people using NCIT will use the name rather than the definition in annotation, and select this ID when their intention is to refer to diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma; i.e. when they mean NCIT:C9159

I'm not sure how best to resolve. Maybe make C3190 a finding and relabel it?
