Background: A polypectomy was performed on a 68-year-old woman who had three gastric hyperplastic polyps. A focal signet ring cell carcinoma was discovered in one of the polyps, which was 2.2 cm in diameter and was located in the antrum.
Methods: To study the carcinoma's phenotype expression, special mucin histochemical stainings were performed.
Results: The carcinoma infiltrated only into the mucosa. Intestinal metaplasia was scant. In the neoplasm neutral and foveolar mucin was predominant over acid mucin. The surrounding hyperplastic foveolar epithelium showed positivity for neutral mucin, and the intestinal metaplasia foci for acid mucin.
Conclusions: This neoplasm has a mixed composition of mucins and shares histochemical characteristics with the surrounding hyperplastic foveolar epithelium.

(SV) is a Gram-positive cocci that thrives in the acidic stomach environment and may cause gastrointestinal symptoms. A 65-year-old woman with a history of gastritis and diabetes presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and weight loss. Initial esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed pyloric stenosis with thickened prepyloric gastric folds, and endoscopic biopsy revealed SV without malignancy.

Purpose: Identifying therapeutic targets for Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma (SRCC) of the colon and rectum is a clinical challenge due to the lack of Patient-Derived Organoids (PDO) or Xenografts (PDX). We present a robust method to establish PDO and PDX models to answer address this unmet need. We demonstrate that these models identify novel therapeutic strategies targeting therapy resistance and peritoneal metastasis.

Biliary signet-ring cell carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor of the biliary tract. signet-ring cell carcinoma often occurs in the gastrointestinal tract. In this case, we can intuitively see the location, shape and scope of the tumor through endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) combined with a peroral direct choledochoscope.

Background: Mucinous adenocarcinoma is a rare type of colorectal cancer (CRC) associated with poor prognosis, particularly when it includes signet ring cell components. Furthermore, its rate of microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) is significantly higher compared to non-mucinous adenocarcinoma. Immunotherapy has emerged as the standard treatment for MSI-H metastatic CRC (mCRC).
