Signet-Ring Cell Carcinoma Mimicking Gastric Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Confirmed by Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Trucut Biopsy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A submucosal gastric adenocarcinoma, especially the signet ring cell type, is rare. The histologic evaluation techniques for this lesion has not been established; however, histologic confirmation is very important for decision of treatment method. Here, we report a 57-year-old man with a 12-cm gastric submucosal signet ring cell type adenocarcinoma, diagnosed by an endoscopic ultrasound-guided Trucut biopsy and immunochemical studies. This case suggests that the endoscopic ultrasound-guided Trucut biopsy might be a useful diagnostic method in cases of gastric adenocarcinoma with features of gastrointestinal stromal tumor.

Gastric Schwannoma Diagnosed by Endoscopic Ultrasonography-Guided Trucut Biopsy
Schwannomas of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are rare subepithelial tumors comprising approximately 3.3% to 12.8% of all mesenchymal tumors of the GI tract. On endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) they are seen as hypoechoic tumors arising most commonly from the 4th proper muscle layer. Although EUS helps to distinguish tumor characteristics, tissue sampling is required for differentiation with other ...

Upper digestive endoscopy in a 36-yearold woman complaining of epigastric pain revealed an ulcerative lesion in the gastric body (●" Fig.1a). Endoscopic biopsies confirmed a gastric adenocarcinoma (●" Fig.1b,c). Endoscopic ultrasonography for cancer staging demonstrated a T2 gastric lesion, and a solid lesion measuring 10.2mm×9.6mm in the pancreatic body (●" Fig.2a). Histologic analysis of biop...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To evaluate the yields and utility of 19-gauge (G) Trucut biopsy (TCB) versus 22 G fine needle aspiration (FNA) for diagnosing gastric subepithelial tumors (SETs). METHODS We retrieved data for 152 patients with a gastric SET larger than 2 cm who had undergone endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided 19 G TCB (n=90) or 22 G FNA (n=62). Relevant clinical, tumor-specific, and EUS...

BACKGROUND Gastric carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies in the world. Skeletal muscle metastases from gastric carcinoma are rare. CASE REPORT We report a case of a 67-year-old man patient with skeletal muscle metastasis developing from gastric carcinoma. He had a painful swelling of the left thigh. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan with enhancement showed pulmonary thromboembo...
متن کاملA case report of gastric linitis plastica diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration
RATIONALE There is currently no consensus on the ideal method for obtaining deep tissue biopsy material of advanced gastric LP. EUS-FNA has potential as a useful diagnostic method. Thus, we report the case of a 46-year-old male with advanced gastric linitis plastica (LP) who was diagnosed using endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). PATIENT CONCERNS The patient underwe...
