Pdf Summary
The study on metastatic neoplasms involving the stomach focuses on the rarity and diagnostic challenges of tumors metastasizing to the stomach when the history of malignancy is lacking. The research aims to identify common tumors metastasizing to the stomach and morphologic features aiding in the investigation of metastasis and prediction of primary sites. The study included 150 patients with gastric metastases, highlighting that lobular breast carcinoma was the most common neoplasm in women, while melanoma predominated in men. The tumors often displayed a solid/diffuse growth pattern and immunohistochemical tests facilitated differentiation. Metastatic neoplasms were found as the initial presentation in 15% of cases. The paper suggests a pattern-based approach and immunohistochemical workup for differential diagnosis, especially between primary and secondary malignancies. The document's detailed analysis provides insights into distinguishing characteristics of different metastatic neoplasms in the stomach, aiding in accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. Ultimately, the study underscores the importance of considering metastatic tumors in the differential diagnosis of gastric neoplasms, especially when certain morphologic features deviate from typical gastric cancers.
