AbstractThis report presents an extremely rare case of synchronous gastric cancer and primary adrenal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). An 82-year-old man underwent computed tomography, which revealed a heterogeneous appearing and hypodense adrenal mass and a gastric mass with no enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, mediastinum, abdomen, and inguinal region. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a protruding gastric tumor. The specimens obtained from endoscopic biopsy were histologically confirmed to be adenocarcinoma. The hormonal findings eliminated functional adrenal tumor. The patient underwent distal gastrectomy with regional lymph node resection for gastric cancer and incisional biopsy of the adrenal mass. Based on the pathological findings, diagnoses of mixed mucinous and tubular adenocarcinomas of the stomach and adrenal DLBCL were confirmed. Postoperation, the patient received rituximab combined with low-dose doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone (R-miniCHOP). Six courses of R-miniCHOP were planned, but were completed in only one course at the patient’s request. The patient died 2 months after surgery.

Summary Aim: With the recent advances in multidetector-row CT, a fusion of functional PET with three dimensional (3D) CT gastrography may provide enhanced diagnostic capability and help surgeons during preoperative planning. The diagnostic value of hybrid PET/CT gastrography was compared with that of conventional PET/CT alone in gastric cancer staging. Patients, methods: Patients with gastric cancer (n = 101) confirmed by endoscopic biopsy specimens underwent conventional PET/CT and regional PET with contrast enhanced CT, followed by gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy at our institution from November 2007 to November 2008. These images were fused into a hybrid PET/CT gastrography using the cardiac IQ fusion software. Conventional PET/CT and hybrid PET/ CT gastrography were evaluated for staging of gastric cancer. After gastrectomy, these were compared with pathologic reports respectively. Results: Gastric cancer was diagnosed as 50 early gastric cancer (EGC) and 51 advanced gastric cancer (AGC) on pathologic examination. In EGC, hybrid PET/CT gastrography and PET/CT identified 36 (72%) and 7 (14%) tumours, respectively. Hybrid PET/CT gastrography correctly delineated the subtype of 25 EGC. In AGC, all 51 (100%) tumours were identified on the hybrid PET/CT gastrography compared to 39 (76.5%) tumours on PET/CT. Hybrid PET/CT gastrography correctly classified the morphology of 42 AGC using the Bormann classification. Additionally, depth of invasion was correctly presented in 38 of 51 AGC. Hybrid PET/CT gastrography for regional lymph node (LN) metastasis in the EGC and AGC showed the sensitivity of 75% and 83.9%, and specificity 90.5% and 55%, respectively. Conclusion: Hybrid PET/CT gastrography is the more intuitive and comprehensive method for the preoperative evaluation of gastric cancer than conventional PET/CT.

The prevalence of gastric polyps during upper gastrointestinal endoscopies is 6%, and 17% correspond to gastric hyperplastic polyps. They are usually incidentally found during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy; yet, large polyps may become symptomatic. The prevalence of gastric cancer in gastric hyperplastic polyps is 2.1%. The aim of this paper is to describe an atypical presentation of this disease with review of the literature. A 73-year-old male patient with anemia and subsequent diagnosis of early gastric cancer in a gastric hyperplastic polyp was treated with endoscopic polypectomy with endoloop.Minimally invasive treatment by endoscopic resection is sufficient in this type of patients.

Abstract We report the case of a 73-year-old man who presented with a 2- to 3-month history of epigastric discomfort and guaiac-positive stool. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a diffuse erythematous nodular mucosa and submucosal thickening in the stomach. Diffuse mucosal nodularity was also found in the second portion of the duodenum. A complete workup with histologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular studies revealed 2 distinct, apparently unrelated lymphomas, namely, a gastric marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type) in a background of Helicobacter pylori gastritis and a grade 1/3 duodenal follicular lymphoma. The patient was then treated with an H pylori eradication regimen. No therapy was given for his duodenal follicular lymphoma because his symptoms were thought to be due to the gastric disease and because the duodenal lesion was small. A 6-month follow-up with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed only focal biopsy scarring in the stomach and an apparently normal duodenum. The follow-up biopsies revealed significant regression of his mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, but persistence of his duodenal follicular lymphoma. The combination of these 2 lymphomas in the same patient and the different clinical responses to antibiotic treatment make this case unique.
