Pleomorphic Type Undifferentiated Gastric Sarcoma, Report of a Case.
CLINICAL JOURNAL OF GASTROENTEROLOGY(2023)
摘要
Reports on pleomorphic type of undifferentiated sarcoma (PUS) originating from the gastrointestinal tract, especially the stomach, are extremely rare. We herein report a case of pleomorphic type undifferentiated gastric sarcoma. The patient was a 67-year-old woman. The chief complaint was upper abdominal pain. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, ultrasonography, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed two submucosal tumors at the greater curvature of the fundus and the lesser curvature of the gastric angle. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration revealed a c-kit-negative spindle cell tumor at the greater curvature of the fundus. Total gastrectomy, splenectomy, and partial resection of the diaphragm and liver were performed. One lesion had invaded the lateral segment of the liver, left diaphragm and spleen. The postoperative course was uneventful. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations of the resected specimen revealed PUS. Peritoneal dissemination was detected at 8 months after surgery. However, no effective therapeutic agents were adopted for chemotherapy. The patient had poor performance status due to disease progression and underwent best supportive care. The patient died 10 months after surgery. This case highlights the imaging, histological diagnosis, and treatment strategy for PUS originating from the stomach. Surgeons should be aware of PUS as a differential diagnosis in cases with submucosal tumor of the stomach.
