Clinicopathologic Study of Gastric Adenocarcinoma with Hepatoid or Enteroblastic Differentiation

Objective To study the clinicopathologic features and diagnostic methods of gastric adenocarcinoma with hepatoid or enteroblastic differentiation(GAHED).Methods 7 cases of GAHED were collected,The clinical features,morphological features and immunophenotype of them were retrospectively analyzed and related literatures were reviewed.Results Histologically,all tumours were composed of various proportions of tubular,cribriform,papillary,solid,and/or trabecular growth patterns with clear to slightly eosinophilic tumour cells.Hyaline globules were observed in all cases.Immunohistochemically,all GAHED were positive for at least one of four embryonic or hepatoid differentiation markers(SALL4,AFP,glypican-3,and hepatocyte),Glypican-3 was the most sensitive marker(100%)for GAHED.5 cases of P53 showed mutant expression(71.4%).Clinical follow-up was available in all cases,and the follow-up time was 7-32 months,2 patients survived without tumor,2 survived with tumor,3 died,and 2 of them had liver metastasis,1 had liver and other organ metastasis.Conclusions Compared with common gastric adenocarcinoma,GAHED is a rare and highly aggressive subtype of adenocarcinoma,which possess unique histological and immunohistochemical characteristics.So clinicians and pathologists should be familiar with the clinicopathological features of this particular subtype in order to make an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
