How deep is the lesion??
Diagnosis: focal early adenocarcinoma within the muscularis mucosae (病变应是位于黏膜肌层).
This outside case was called as an invasive adencarcinoma involving the muscularis propria (肌层).
1. The muscularis mucosae in the esophagus, particularly in the lower middle and distal parts of esophagus, can be very thick. In the Barrett's esophagus, the muscularis mucosae would be "double layer". It is common error to call this muscularis mucosae as muscularis propria. But the tumor stage is significantly different.
2. Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus is very common in the western countries. For example, adenocarcinoma of the esophagus in U.S.A. is much more common than adenocarcinoma of the stomach. Most adenocarcinomas in the esophagus arise in a background of Barrett's esophagus (also see the second case in 第 14 楼). The criteria to call early adenocarcinoma is mainly based on a) archiectural disorder and b)early invasiveness, namely, the neoplastic glands penetrate through the basement membrane into the muscularis mucosae. Sometimes, the changes is very subtle, like this case, in which only one gland shows malignant transformation. The case in is more obvious, like the case in 第 14 楼.

岛状表现的Barrett食管?第一次听说,学习了。从谈老师的描述来看,这还是下段食管的,与胃食管交界很近 从第一张图看,病变应是位于黏膜肌层与黏膜下层交界的位置吧,尽管似有浸润,但细胞的异型性尚不足以诊断癌。类似病变发生于阑尾则类似于“恶性潜能未定型”,发生于乳腺类似于伴有异型增生的黏液囊肿样病变,由于各个系统的诊断标准差异很大,发生于这一部位的病变第一次见到,如我在工作中见到类似病变,倾向于保守一点的报告方式。 |
Very good.
The lesion is within 黏膜肌层 (muscularis mucosae).

1.2cm lesion in the middle portion of esophagus. 这应该是中段食管吧,这里也有“Barrett食管”一说? |
Excellent observation!
This is a consultation case from Sweden. Initially, we thought it may be an translational error. After email communications in English, I was informed that the patient has a long history of Barrett and this biopsy was taken about 6cm from the GE junction. In addition, there are two lesions, one 1.0cm in size and 4 cm from the GE junction, and another 1.1cm in size and 2cm from the GE junction. Overall impression is that the Barrett's lesion has focal pseduoregression, causing "islands" appearance endoscopically.
Nevertheless, the question of the case is how deep is the atypical glands.
The outside pathologist called "focal invasive carcinoma arising in a background of Barrett's mucosa. Tumor invades into the muscularis propria."

There is a background of Barrett's mucosa in the surface. A couple of glands with obvious architectural and cytological atypia, "invading" to "smooth muscle."
The questions are 1) any cancer? and if yes, 2) how deep?
