Adenosquamous carcinoma vs. high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma with squamous cell differentiation. Clinically, these two entities share many similar features: they are rare, consisting of less than 1% of gastric cancer. Both usually deeply invade, with frequent lymphovascular invasion, and prognosis is very poor.
In adenosquamous carcinoma. typically, IHC will highlights two cell populations: squamoid area with cells positive for CK5/6 and p63, and poorly differentiated/glandular area with cells positive for MOC-31+, CDX-2 and MUC-5AC.
Chromogranin and synaptophysin could be focally weakly positive. However if they are diffusely positive. Then it is high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma with focal squamous cell differentiation.
Bottom line: it is a high-grade cancer. IHC panel will help to classify it.

Clinically, these two entities share many similar features: they are rare, consisting of less than 1% of gastric cancer. Both usually deeply invade, with frequent lymphovascular invasion, and prognosis is very poor. 腺鳞癌和高级别神经内分泌癌伴有鳞状分化。临床上,这两种病变具有很多相似特征:均少见,构成比例均不到胃癌的1%。二者均常浸润较深,常有脉管侵犯,预后很差。 In adenosquamous carcinoma. typically, IHC will highlights two cell populations: squamoid area with cells positive for CK5/6 and p63, and poorly differentiated/glandular area with cells positive for MOC-31+, CDX-2 and MUC-5AC. 腺鳞癌中,免疫表型常显示两种细胞类型:鳞状细胞区域,常呈CK5/6 and p63阳性;低分化或腺样区域,常呈MOC-31+, CDX-2 and MUC-5AC阳性。 Chromogranin and synaptophysin could be focally weakly positive. However if they are diffusely positive. Then it is high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma with focal squamous cell differentiation. CgA和syn可局灶弱阳性。如果二者弥漫强阳性时,那么即为高级别神经内分泌癌伴有局灶区域鳞状分化。 Bottom line: it is a high-grade cancer. IHC panel will help to classify it. 本例至少为高级别癌,免疫表型谱将有助于进一步分类。 |
