Composite Glandular and NeuroendocrineCarcinoma of the Stomach-Two Case Reports
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors develop throughout gastrointestinal tract. The concurrence of mixed adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumor together in the stomach is rare. Case report: We report two cases of poorly differentiated carcinoma stomach with neuroendocrine component. These patients underwent radical total gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. They are asymptomatic and disease free on follow -up. Conclusion: Combination of neuroendocrine tumours and adenocarcinoma stomach a rare entity. Pre operative diagnosis with endoscopic biopsy is difficult. However, if there is a suspicion based on endoscopic biopsy, and then Immunohistochemical staining for neuroendocrine tumor markers may help in establishing preoperative diagnosis.

متن کاملComposite Neuroendocrine Carcinoma with Adenocarcinoma of the Stomach Misdiagnosed as a Giant Submucosal Tumor
A composite glandular/exocrine-endocrine carcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract is characterized by the co-existence of two adjacent, but histologically-distinct tumors in an organ. Composite glandular/exocrine-endocrine carcinomas are a special type of tumor comprised of common adenocarcinomas and neuroendocrine components that account for at least one-third of the entire tumor area. Composit...

BACKGROUND Mixed (composite) exocrine-neuroendocrine cell carcinomas are defined as an intimate admixture of neoplastic glandular exocrine and neuroendocrine cell types. Although gastric adenocarcinoma containing a small number of neuroendocrine cells is a relatively frequent occurrence, gastric neoplasms containing equal proportions of both cell types are rare. CASE PRESENTATION We present a...
