Aim: The authors signal a case of gastric polypoid signet ring cell carcinoma, of particular interest for its rarity like show from the review of the literature, which is the first to have been described after Tabaru's citation.
Methods: The study has been carried out at the Department of Surgical and Oncological Sciences of the University of Palermo. It has been based on 2000 cases analysed from June 2001 to December 2003.
Results: The authors advance some and emphasizes the diagnostic flow chart and therapeutic choices adopted.
Conclusions: We agree that the endoscopic polypectomy is surgical procedure of first approach, but modifying the therapeutic guideline in relation to histologic examination, like happened in the case in issue.

Beneath the Surface: Diagnosing Gastric Linitis Plastica.
J Community Hosp Intern Med Perspect

MedStar Health Internal Medicine Residency Program, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Gastric Linitis plastica is characterized by extensive infiltration of gastric wall by poorly differentiated tumor cells, creating a "leather-bottle stomach" appearance. We describe a case involving a 71-year-old male presenting with globus sensation, early satiety and weight loss. Recent EGD had revealed chronic gastritis with polypoid mucosa at the GE junction, and subsequent FDG-PET indicated asymmetric FDG localization.

Gastric polyps are commonly detected during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. They are most often benign and rarely become malignant. Nevertheless, adequate knowledge, diagnostic modalities, and management strategies should be the endoscopist's readily available "weapons" to defeat the potentially malignant "enemies".

Article Synopsis
- A study of 121 cases of small duct-type intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (small duct-iCCA) identified intraductal polypoid neoplasms in 8 cases (6.6%), which showed growth patterns adjacent to mass-forming tumors.
- These polypoid neoplasms were found to have histological and immunohistochemical similarities to the primary tumors, indicating a shared biliary subtype and reflecting the cancerization of ductal tissues.
- A comparison with intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) revealed differences, as IPNBs often presented non-invasive characteristics, suggesting that intraductal polypoid neoplasms should
Isolated Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the stomach in adults: An analysis of clinicopathologic characteristics and molecular genetics.

Isolated gastric Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) occurs extremely rarely in adults. We characterized the clinicopathological and molecular genetics of this rare entity. We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathologic and prognostic features of 3 patients with isolated gastric LCH during the past 10 years, with a review of an additional 20 patients from the literature.

Article Synopsis
- - Intussusception in adults is rare, with ileocolic being the most common type and duodenal intussusception (DI) being the rarest; this study discusses five adult cases of DI, highlighting their presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.
- - The patients, primarily women aged 18-45, mainly presented with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) and weight loss, all diagnosed via contrast-enhanced CT scans with benign polyps identified as lead points requiring surgical intervention.
- - Surgical treatment varied, with some patients receiving local excision and others undergoing more extensive procedures like pancreaticoduodenectomy; post-operative recovery was generally smooth, emphasizing the importance of anatomical knowledge for managing this complex condition.
