Colon Signet Ring Cell Adenocarcinoma: Immunohistochemical Characterization and Comparison with Gastric and Typical Colon Adenocarcinomas

Colon Signet Ring Cell Adenocarcinoma: Immunohistochemical Characterization and Comparison... Colon signet ring cell adenocarcinomas are uncommon, high-grade neoplasms. Given their rarity, the question of primary colon or metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma frequently arises when signet ring cell carcinoma is seen in a colonoscopic biopsy or in biopsies procured from other regions of the body. A second related question regarding colon and gastric signet ring cell carcinomas is their immunophenotypic similarities with the glandular form of adenocarcinoma in each site. We studied the immunohistochemical phenotype of 14 colonic signet ring cell adenocarcinomas and compared them with immunophenotype of 27 gastric signet ring cell adenocarcinomas. We also compared the immunophenotype of the 27 gastric signet ring cell with the immunophenotype of 19 gastric gland–forming adenocarcinomas, and the immunophenotype of the 14 colonic signet ring cell adenocarcinomas to the immunophenotype of 20 colonic gland–forming adenocarcinomas to identify staining differences in the neoplastic cells of the two architectures. Antibodies studied were cytokeratins 7, 17, 19, and 20, CA 19-9, CA-125, estrogen receptor, and gross cystic disease fluid protein 15. Sixty-four percent of colon signet ring cell adenocarcinomas had either no staining or focal staining with cytokeratin 7 compared with diffuse staining in 63% of gastric signet ring cell adenocarcinomas ( http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Applied Immunohistochemistry & Molecular Morphology Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

Colon signet ring cell adenocarcinomas are uncommon, high-grade neoplasms. Given their rarity, the question of primary colon or metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma frequently arises when signet ring cell carcinoma is seen in a colonoscopic biopsy or in biopsies procured from other regions of the body. A second related question regarding colon and gastric signet ring cell carcinomas is their immunophenotypic similarities with the glandular form of adenocarcinoma in each site. We studied the immunohistochemical phenotype of 14 colonic signet ring cell adenocarcinomas and compared them with immunophenotype of 27 gastric signet ring cell adenocarcinomas. We also compared the immunophenotype of the 27 gastric signet ring cell with the immunophenotype of 19 gastric gland–forming adenocarcinomas, and the immunophenotype of the 14 colonic signet ring cell adenocarcinomas to the immunophenotype of 20 colonic gland–forming adenocarcinomas to identify staining differences in the neoplastic cells of the two architectures. Antibodies studied were cytokeratins 7, 17, 19, and 20, CA 19-9, CA-125, estrogen receptor, and gross cystic disease fluid protein 15. Sixty-four percent of colon signet ring cell adenocarcinomas had either no staining or focal staining with cytokeratin 7 compared with diffuse staining in 63% of gastric signet ring cell adenocarcinomas (
