“…The primary site for this suspected malignancy most commonly originates from the appendix or upper gastrointestinal system [13]. Imaging studies and endoscopies did not ascertain a gastrointestinal origin in this patient, who additionally has had a prior appendectomy.…”

“…In spite of the increasing sophistication in the diagnostic workup for malignancies, detailed investigations fail to reveal a primary site in about 3-5% of metastatic tumors (1). SRCC is a rare poorly differentiated aggressive subtype of adenocarcinoma that most commonly arises from the gastrointestinal tract (2). While 90% of SRCC tumors arise from the stomach, breast, or colon, almost every organ is a potential primary site (3).…”

In spite of the increasingly sophisticated diagnostic workup, detailed investigations fail to reveal a primary site of origin for about 3-5% of metastatic tumors. The most commonly reported subtype in cancer of unknown primary origin is adenocarcinoma. Signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a rare poorly differentiated aggressive subtype of adenocarcinoma that most commonly arise from the gastrointestinal tract. It usually presents late and is associated with poor prognosis. Treatment options remain limited to anecdotal reports. However, immunohistochemical studies can be useful in suggesting an origin and therefore may help guide investigations and treatment options. Here we present an unusual case of metastatic SRCC of unknown primary origin presenting as peritoneal carcinomatosis in a 73-year-old man. We also review the literature on metastatic SRCC of unknown primary origin and discuss the relevant findings. This work highlights the importance of collaboration between clinicians and pathologists as well as detailed histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular analyses which can help guide investigations and management options.

Primary peritoneal serous carcinoma with signet ring cells

Abstract: ► The case is unique as the signet ring-like tumor cells in the ascites occur in primary peritoneal serous tumors. ► The tumor cells may have degenerated, which led to the formation of cytoplasmic vacuoles and resembled signet ring-like cells.
