Inherited Cancer Syndrome

Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) is a rare, inherited cancer syndrome with at least one fourth of HDGC patients having an autosomal dominantly inherited mutation of CDH1 (E-Cadherin). Penetrance is relatively high (70–80% lifetime risk for gastric cancer). It is important for pathologists to recognize the syndrome's phenotype in early gastric lesions: patchy intramucosal signet ring cells often associated with pagetoid spread. Due to the insidious nature of this lesion, surveillance is limited and currently prophylactic gastrectomy is an option chosen by many HDGC patients. We present a case report from a multidisciplinary team of authors with a review of the literature that includes the updated guidelines for CDH1 genetic testing.

Aggressive Subtype

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing gastric cancer (AFPGC) is a rare, aggressive tumor. In the absence of metastasis in diagnosis, close observation and long-term follow-up is needed to monitor and slow its progress. We report a young patient who presented with nonbiliary pancreatitis. Upon finding Virchow’s nodule, we conducted tests and observed multiple lymph nodes and liver and pancreatic metastasis. We subsequently made a diagnosis of AFPGC. This study describes the different presentations of this rare but aggressive subtype of gastric cancer with a review of the literature.
