Abstract:
This report describes a 67-year-old male with inoperable gastric cancer accompanied by marked tissue and peripheral eosinophilia without evidence of allergic disorders or parasitic infestation. Autopsy revealed an advanced gastric cancer of scirrhous type with metastases to pancreas, bone marrow, ileum, lungs, and lymph nodes. Excessive numbers of mature eosinophils were present in univolved bone marrow, liver and spleen as well as among the signet ring cell component of the cancer in either primary or metastatic sites. The primary cancer also possessed a component of tubular adenocarcinoma which was associated with only a few eosinophils. Hence, we speculate that an eosinophil mobilizing (chemotactic and/or proliferating) factor (s) was produced by the signet ring cancer cells.
