“…As a result, 33 months after the first detection of the liver metastasis, he is still alive without any signs of recurrence in the liver. [24][25][26] In any event, from the Japanese literature on gastric small-cell carcinoma, we were not able to demonstrate a patient with liver metastasis who survived for 33 months, as has our patient.…”

“…The results of immunohistochemical staining with p53 protein and PCNA in our patient showed that both were strongly positive, indicating the malignant potential of the tumor; this case was suggested to have highly malignant potential, in the same manner as in other reports. Although the treatment for gastric small-cell carcinoma has not been established, it is reported that chemotherapy designed for small-cell carcinoma of the lung was effective for patients with gastric small-cell carcinoma, [23][24][25][26] because the biological and clinical characteristics are similar to those of small-cell carcinoma of the lung. As a result, 33 months after the first detection of the liver metastasis, he is still alive without any signs of recurrence in the liver.…”

A patient with small-cell carcinoma of the stomach with long survival after percutaneous microwave coagulating therapy (PMCT) for liver metastasis Abstract A 66-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with epigastralgia. Preoperative examinations revealed an 8.0 ϫ 8.0-cm, Borrmann type 2 tumor in the posterior wall of the cardia, without distant metastases. Total gastrectomy with pancreato-splenectomy and regional lymph node dissection was performed curatively. Histologically, the tumor was composed mainly of small cells with hyperchromatic nuclei and scant cytoplasm, which showed positive staining for Grimelius, γ-neuron-specific enolase (γ-NSE), chromogranin A, and serotonin. About 10 months after the operation, a solitary tumor was revealed in S8 of the liver by abdominal computed tomography (CT), and it was histologically confirmed by needle biopsy to be a metastasis of the small-cell carcinoma from the stomach. Instead of hepatectomy, percutaneous microwave coagulating therapy (PMCT) was indicated, because of the patients' liver dysfunction (ICG R15, 39.9%); CT showed complete necrosis of the metastatic focus in the liver after the PMCT. Now, 33 months after the first detection of the liver metastasis (43 months after the gastrectomy), the patient is still alive without any growth of the liver metastasis. The 67 previously reported cases of small-cell carcinoma of the stomach in Japan, including ours, are also reviewed.

“…Like the common adenocarcinoma, small cell gastric carcinoma is treated by gastrectomy, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. Chemotherapy for small cell gastric carcinoma, as for small-cell lung cancer, often employs a regimen consisting mainly of CDDP [24][25][26]. However, the prognosis is poor because of its high-level biological malignancy.…”

A 62-year-old man was emergently admitted to our hospital because of disturbance of consciousness. Computed tomography of the chest and abdomen showed pleural effusion, ascites, and generalized lymphadenopathy. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed bleeding from an irregular ulcerative lesion in the lesser curvature of the middle portion of the gastric body, and exhibited the morphology of Borrman type 4 gastric cancer. The patient died on the seventh hospital day. At autopsy, a diagnosis of primary small cell gastric carcinoma associated with adenocarcinoma was made. Primary small cell gastric carcinoma and its coexistence with adenocarcinoma, as in this case, is rare.
