Q

What is the difference between an erosion and an ulcer?

83
Q

Describe the gross and microscopic findings shown here, and identify the disease process.

A

Gastric Adenoma

84
Q

Gastric adenocarcinoma is the most common malignancy of the stomach, comprising more than 90% of all gastric cancers.

What types are there?

A

Seperated morphologically into….

  • Intestinal type - tends to form bulky masses
  • Diffuse type - infiltrates the wall diffusely, thickening it.
85
Q

What type of cells is a diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma typically composed of?

A

Signet ring cells

86
Q

What is this lesion most likely to be?

A

Gastric Adenocarcinoma, Intestinal type - note the “heaped” up tissue at the irregular border with abnormal rugal folds.

87
Q

The shown sample came from a gastric adenocarcinoma.

What type?

Justify your response.

A

Diffuse gastric cancer - Stain with E-cadherin that is negative is strongly indicative of gastric adenocarcinoma.

Loss of E-cadherin is a key step in the development of diffuse gastric cancer.

88
Q

What mutation(s) is associated with the lesion depicted i in the attached images?

A
  • Loss of function in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor gene.
  • gain of function mutations in the gene encoding Beta-catenin

Mucicarmin?

E-cadherin?

A

Intestinal type adenocarcinoma

Mucicarmin = positive, stains pink

E-Cadherin = Positive

Q

Foregut carcinoid tumors are found in the stomach, duodenum proximal to the ligament of treitz, and esophagus.

Do these tend to metastasize?

Prognosis?

A

Rarely metastasize

generally cured by resection

105
Q

Midgut carcinoid tumors arise in the jejunum and ileum. Characterize these tumors based on their aggro level.

What are outcomes associated with?

A

Often multipe and tend to be aggressive.

Greater depth of local invasion, increased size and presence of necrosis and mitoses are associated with worse outcomes.

106
Q

Hindgut carcinoids arise in the appendix and colorectum and are typically discovered incidentally. Those in the appendix appear at any age and are typically located at the tip.

Rectal carcinoid tumors tend to produce pulypeptide hormones and when symptomatic present with abdominal pain and weight loss.

Do these tend to metastasize?

A

They are almost always benign and very rarely metastasize.

A

GIST

Imatinib (gleevec)

112
Q

What is this tumor?

A

GIST
