[A clinicopathological study of early mucinous adenocarcinoma of the stomach].
From 1963 to 1986, 1126 cases (1300 lesions) of early gastric carcinoma were treated at Fukui Prefectural Hospital. Mucinous adenocarcinomas comprised 16 lesions in this series. These cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma were younger than all the other early carcinomas of the stomach and they often were locted in the lower third of the stomach. Macroscopically, most were types "Iia + IIc". Dividing them into 3 grouping: papillary, tubular, and signet ring cell types, depending on the microscopic appearance of the intramucosal carcinoma, the signet ring cell group differed from the other two as to age, macroscopic appearance, and region it occupied. An immunochemical study showed that CA19-9 stained positively in a mucous lake, much like a carcinoma cell, but that CEA stained little.
