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
