| Abstract: |
| Objective Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach is exceedingly rare. Only a few cases have been
reported worldwide. In this report, we describe our pathological findings along with a review of the literature
to improve our understanding of the disease and prevent misdiagnosis, as well as to provide evidence for
its treatment and prognosis.
Methods A 68-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital (Dalian Municipal Central Hospital,
Dalian, China) complaining of upper abdominal pain. Physical examination and regular laboratory blood
tests showed no obvious abnormalities. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan displayed a 3.0
cm × 3.0 cm mass in the gastric antrum, but no metastasis was found in the adjacent organs.
Results A radical gastrectomy was performed and postoperative histopathology showed a moderately
differentiated adenocarcinoma with partial hepatoid adenocarcinoma.
Conclusion Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach is a rare malignant neoplasm. The diagnostic
criteria for hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach depends mainly on the clinical, radiographic, and
histopathological findings. Pathomorphology and immunohistochemical staining can be utilized to confirm
the diagnosis. |
