Abstract EN
Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) of the breast, urinary bladder, ovary, and colon has been reported.
However, few reports have described IMPC of the stomach.
In addition, IMPC has been described as a histological indicator for lymphatic invasion and nodal metastasis, resulting in poor prognosis.
We report a case of 5-year survival after surgery for IPMC of the stomach.
A 69-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with symptoms of upper abdominal pain.
Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a tumor at the antrum of the stomach.
Histological examination of the biopsy specimen indicated poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma.
The patient underwent distal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection.
Microscopic examination of the specimen revealed that the tumor consisted of an invasive micropapillary component.
Carcinoma cell clusters were floating in the clear spaces.
The patient recovered uneventfully and remains alive without recurrence 5 years after surgery.
