AFP-producing hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach: a case report
Hepatoid gastric adenocarcinoma is a distinct variant of gastric carcinoma which represents a comparatively small percentage of the disease and in many cases is producing high serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). We report a case of an 85 year old woman who presented with epigastric and right upper quadrant pain and was found in a CT scan to have multiple liver nodules and a gastric antrum mass as we...
متن کاملHepatoid Adenocarcinoma of the Stomach: A Challenging Diagnostic and Therapeutic Disease through a Case Report and Review of the Literature
Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach (HAS) is a rare aggressive tumor with hepatocellular differentiation. HAS often produces alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and metastasizes to the lymph nodes and the liver. Molecular studies revealed Her2 amplification and overexpression, association with p53 mutations, but no association with KRAS mutations. EGFR and BRAF mutations have not yet been evaluated in h...
متن کاملA clear cell adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder with hepatoid differentiation: case report and review of literature
An 80-year-old male was referred to our department for a gallbladder mass. He denied any history of alcohol consumption or cholecystitis and smoking. Hepatitis B surface antigen test and antihepatitis C antibody test were found to be negative. Serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and carcinoembryonic antigen were elevated (CA19-9 was 59.92 U/mL and carcinoembryonic antigen was 12.64 ng/mL),...
متن کاملAlpha-fetoprotein-producing hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder: a case report and review of literature
Hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is an uncommon type of malignancy in extrahepatic tissues. It was named for its histopathological resemblance of hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common form of liver cancer. The occurrence of HAC in the gallbladder is very low, and tumours that produce alpha-fetoprotein are even rarer. Clinically, it is usually diagnosed histopathologically; and the prognosis is...
متن کاملPulmonary hepatoid adenocarcinoma: report of a case
Hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is a rare neoplasm with aberrant hepatocellular differentiation. HAC occurs in extrahepatic organs such as the gastrointestinal tract, testes, ovaries, and lungs and frequently produces alpha-fetoprotein. A 69-year-old patient was diagnosed clinically with T2aN0M0, stage IB, non-small cell lung carcinoma. Because the tumor showed tight adhesion to the chest wall, w...
