Neoplasms in the stomach
|
AdenoCA
lymphoma leiomyoma |
|
2 epithelial tumors of stomach
|
polyps
adenoCA (90-95%) |
|
3 types of non-epithelial tumors of stomach
|
leiomyoma
lymphoma (4-5%) GI stromal tumors (2%) |
|
Leiomyoma basics
|
smooth muscule, benign tumor, well circumscribed
|
|
Complications of leiomyomas
|
ulceration, hemorrhage
|
|
Where do gastric leiomyomas develop?
|
below surface epithelium
|
|
Definition of polyp.
|
focal protrusion of mucosa into lumen
|
|
When do non-neoplastic polyps occur?
|
following injury
made of aggregates of mucosal and inflammatory cells |
|
additional types of infiltrating gastric malignancies
|
diffuse
linitis plastica |
|
Differentiate between peptic ulcers and ulcerating malignancy.
|
PUD: flat margins, vertical sides, smooth base
UM: heaped up margins, irregular sides, shaggy base |
|
2 special lymph nodes for gastric malignancy
|
L supraclavicular node (Virchow node)
periumbilical node |
|
3 general places for gastric malignancies to metastasize
|
lymph nodes
local invasion (peritoneal seeding) distant sites via hematogenous spread (ovary, Krukenberg tumor) |
|
Pathogenesis of gastric adenoCA
|
pre-existing dz, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia, adenoCA
|
|
2 ex of pre-existing dz of gastric adenoCA
|
H.pylori
chronic atrophic gastritis |
|
Tumor thickness along length of wall of stomach
|
linitis plastica
|
|
Path of intestinal type of gastric adenoCA
|
chronic gastritis w/ intestinal metaplasia->dysplasia->adenoCA
|
|
Path of diffuse type of gastric adenoCA
|
arises from gastric mucous cells
see dis-cohesive mucous cells= single ring cells +desmoplasia |
|
Growth of diffuse type of gastric adenoCA
|
single cells, cell clustrs, or sheets
desmoplasia can lead to linitis plastica |
|
What can both types of adenoCA make?
|
lakes of extracellular mucus
|
|
2 general differences with histopath of adenoCA
|
early (mucosa/submucosa)
advanced (muscularis +/- serosa) |
|
What makes up a majority of the diffuse type of adenoCA?
|
desmoplasia
|
|
significant prognostic features for gastric adenoCA
|
depth of invasion
extent of nodal and distant metastases |
|
What type of cx is MALT?
|
low grade B cell lymphoma
|
|
Pathogenesis for MALToma
|
H.pylori infection, chronic inflammation expands MALT
|
|
Histopath of gastric lymphoma MALToma
|
small malignant lymphocytes infiltrate mucosa and destroy gastric glands
|
