초록
This report represents a very rare case of a gastric adenocarcinoma that was coexistent with hepatoid adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma. A 77-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to a huge ulcerofungating mass identified at the proximal body of the stomach. After a pathological diagnosis of the tumor as a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma was made, the patient underwent a total gastrectomy with lymph node dissection. Microscopically, the tumor consisted of three morphologically distinct components-tubular adenocarcinoma, hepatoid adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma. The hepatoid denocarcinoma component resembled a he patocellular carcinoma and produced alpha-fetoprotein. The neuroendocrine carcinoma component was positive for chromogranin and synaptophysin immunostains. This is an example of the diverse morphological and immunophenotypical differentiation of gastric carcinomas.
Abstract

Microscopically, the tumor consisted of three morphologically distinct components-tubular adenocarcinoma, hepatoid adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma. The hepatoid denocarcinoma component resembled a he patocellular carcinoma and produced alpha-fetoprotein. The neuroendocrine carcinoma component was positive for chromogranin and synaptophysin immunostains.
