RESUMO
Objective To explore the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features, diagnosis and treatment,prognosis of hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach with neuroendocrine tumor.AFP, Syn, CgA, Ki-67, P53 were stained by immunohistochemistry and follow-up was conducted by telephone.Methods Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach with coexisting neuroendocrine tumor was identified in 13 cases from June 2004 to June 2014 in Ren Ji Hospital.Results Among the 13 cases of hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach coexisting with neuroendocrine tumor patients, there were 7 males and 6 females, with an median age of 62 years.Tumors located in the gastric cardia in 2 cases, in the gastric antrum in 8 cases and in the gastric body in 3 cases.Tumor ranged from 1-19 cm.The follow-up rate was 100％.The median overall survival rate was 12 months, two patients died of liver metastasis and one patient died of anastomotic recurrence.Serum AFP increased in 10 patients with hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach coexisted with neuroendocrine tumor.The structure consisted of hepatoid cell differentiation and adenocarcinoma differentiation and neuroendocrine differentiation area by histological microscope examination.Immunohistochemical staining showed that tumor regional AFP, Syn, CgA, Ki-67, P53 were positive.Conclusions Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach coexisting with neuroendocrine tumor is very rare, it is made up of three structures : hepatoid cell differentiation, adenocarcinoma differentiation and neuroendocrine differentiation area.Diagnosis relies on immunohistochemical and histological examination.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the clinico-pathological characteristics and prognostic factors of patients with gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma(G-NEC).Methods Clinical data of 40 cases of G-NEC form January 2003 to August 2013 at Ren Ji Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University were analyzed.Tumors were classified into different grades and stages according to the 2010 WHO classification and the 2006 European neuroendocrine tumor society (ENETS).Follow-up was conducted by telephone.The survival curves were drawn using Kaplan-Meier method.Univariate analysis was performed by the Log-rank test and multivariate analysis was performed by the COX proportional hazards model.Results Among the 40 G-NECs patients,29 were male(72％) and 11 were female(28％),with an median age of 61 years.Tumors located in the gastric cardia in 20 cases,in the gastric antrum in 11 cases and in the gastric body in 9 cases.Tumor ranged from 1 cm-20 cm.All patients were G-NEC (G3).Follow-up rate was 100％ (40/40).The median overall survival rate was 12 months,and one-year survival rate was 82％.Immunohistochemically G-NEC cells were positive for CgA and Syn in 11 cases.Gender (x2 =5.673,P ＜ 0.05),Ki-67 index (x2 =8.612,P ＜ 0.05),and lymphnode involvement (x2 =0.559,P ＜ 0.05) were prognostic factors of G-NEC patients.Conclusions The symptoms of G-NEC are nonspecific.Its diagnosis relies on pathological examination and immunohistochemistry.Syn and CgA are the most important markers.Female gender,lower Ki-67 index and lower lymph node metastasis predict a survival advantage.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate two different histopathological classification systems (Fletcher and Miettinen) for the risk in cases of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Methods One hundred and sixty-five GIST cases with complete clinicopathologic and follow-up data were evaluated for their biologic potential by the histopathological classification systems of Fletcher, and among those, 164 cases GIST were evaluated by the histopathological classification systems of Miettinen. The implication of two classification systems were compared by survival analysis. Results Evaluated by Fletcher histopathological classification system, 59 cases (35. 8%) were graded as high risk, 49 cases (29. 7%) as intermediate risk, 43 cases (26. 1%) as low risk and 14 cases (8. 5%) were very-low risk. Evaluated by Miettinen's system, 68 cases (41.5%) were as high risk, 23 cases (14. 0%) were intermedatie risk, 60 cases (36. 6%) were low risk and 13 cases (7. 9%) were very-low risk. Evaluated by both two systems, the survival time and disease-free survival time of high risk GIST were lower than those of very-low, low and intermediate risk GIST(P <0. 05), the survival time and disease-free survival time of intermediate risk GIST were lower than those of low risk GIST(P<0. 05). According to Fletcher's system, in the high risk GIST, the disease-free survival time of small intestinal, colonic and rectal GIST was lower than that of gastric GIST(P = 0. 022), and in the intermediate risk GIST, the survival time of small intestinal, colonic and rectal GIST was lower than that of gastric GIST(P =0. 032). According to Miettinen's system, in the risk subgroup of GIST, the survival time and disease-free survival time of gastric, small intestinal, colonic and rectal GIST has no statistical difference(P > 0. 05). Conclusions Fletcher histopathological classification system is simple and easy to use, while Miettinen's system for evaluating biological potential by anatomic site is more accurate and predictive in the selection of high risk patients for target adjuvant treatment.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the relationship between tumor subclassifieation and the clinicopathologic features and prognosis of patients with gastrointestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Method From June 2000 to June 2007, 63 gastrointestinal DLBCL cases were enrolled. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect CDIO, Bcl-6 and MUM1 expression. Tumors were subclassified according to CDIO, Bcl-6 and MUM1 expression. Results CD10 expression was positive in 13 cases. Bcl-6 expression was positive in 53 cases. MUM1 expression was positive in 52 cases. According to the expression of CD10, Bcl-6 and MUM1, 17 cases(27%) were of germinal center B cell-like (GCB) DLBCL and 46 cases (73%) were of non-GCB. There was a significant difference in local lymph node metastasis between GCB group and non-GCB group, but there was no significant difference in terms of tumor size and infiltrate depth between the two subgroups. The survival time of patients in GCB group(76 months) was significantly longer than that of non-GCB group (28 months). Among cases receiving postoperative chemotherapy (CHOP), the survival of GCB group (76 months) was longer than non-GCB group (24 months). All 4 GCB cases and 4 non-GCB cases under R-CHOP chemotherapy are alive (22 ～ 47 months). Conclusion Gastrointestinal DLBCL subclassification is closely correlated with local lymph node metastasis, and this in combination with the expression of CD10 could be used to predict the prognosis of patients with gastrointestinal DLBCL.
