“…Fibreoptic endoscopy has become widely accepted in European countries only within the past seven years and the use of double contrast radiology is not widespread outside Japan. Nonetheless, there are encouraging signs that 'early' gastric cancer is becoming more frequently recognised in centres outside Japan which are using improved diagnostic methods (Miller and Kauffmann, 1974;Elster et al, 1975;Fevre et al, 1976;Machado et al, 1976). Our own findings also suggest this possibility.…”

Gastric carcinomas hidden beneath flat and intact mucosal surface epithelium are rarely discovered. Such a tumor in the early stage is at best diagnosed as an incidental finding, so that the diagnosis is probably always a surprise to the clinician. Six such cases of early gastric carcinoma were presented. Four were intramucosal lesions and the remaining two were invasive with submucosal extension. All the tumors are composed purely of signet-ring cells (diffuse-type by Lauren's classification). Histologic examination of the six cases revealed that certain features, which are not characteristically observed in ordinary signet-ring cell carcinomas, were commonly recognized. These included compact nests of uniform signet-ring cells sharing a common cytoplasmic wall, lack of desmoplastic stromal response, and intracytoplasmic mucin predominantly composed of neutral mucopolysaccharide. These six tumors are considered to be an incipient stage of signet-ring cell carcinoma. The findings also suggest a close histogenetic relationship between these tumors and the mucous neck cells in the basal region of gastric glands. The grossly unremarkable mucosal surface and histologically innocuous appearance associated with this form of tumor are emphasized for diagnosis.

A., Slezak, P., ohman. U. & Emis, S. The histological classification of early gastric cancer (micro-invasive carcinoma of the stomach). Acta path. rnicrobiol. immunol. scand. Sect. A, 90: 3 I I-316, 1982.During a 3.5-year period, January 1976 to June 1979. eleven cases of micro-invasive carcinoma of the stomach (early gastric cancer) were detected in 45 gastrectomy specimens having a pre-operative diagnosis of gastric carcinoma. The histological types found in the surgical specimens were highly differentiated ( I ), moderately differentiated (4). poorly differentiated (3) adenocarcinomas. one specimen had undifferentiated carcinoma, and in the remaining two cases mixed types were found. Multiple lesions were present in five spcimens. In ten of the eleven specimens. focal cystic dilatation of the deeper part of the gastric glands were found in areas overlapped by micro-invasive carcinoma and/or in areas overlapped by mucosa showing chronic inflammation. The frequency of cystic dilatation of the gastric gland was much lower in specimens from patients with gastric or duodenal peptic ulcers. Thus. focal cystic dilatation present in negative gastric biopsies should be reported, thereby alerting the referring physician as to the possibility of a gastric malignancy.
