Multiple Gastric G1 Neuroendocrine Tumors with Venous and Lymphatic Invasion

Abstract: A 60-year-old woman was admitted for the treatment of a gastric neuroendocrine tumor (NET) associated with type A chronic atrophic gastritis. The lesion measured 10 mm in diameter, and a computed tomography scan did not reveal any metastatic lesions. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was subsequently performed. A histological examination revealed three gastric NETs, two of which exhibited vessel invasion. Endocrine cell micronests associated with a high risk of recurrence were also observed. Therefore, th… Show more

“…This approach is supported by some reports [24,[38][39][40] which suggest that careful endoscopic follow-up might represent a reasonable safe option in selected patients. However, further studies evaluating larger cohorts during a longer follow-up period are necessary in order to support this clinical behavior, as some cases of progressive malignant GC1s have already been reported [17][18][19]41] . Accordingly, the ENETS guidelines recommend endoscopic resection whenever possible, even in the presence of small carcinoids (diameter < 1 cm ø) and for up to 6 polyps not involving the muscularis propria [8] .…”

“…Moreover, the evolution to neuroendocrine carcinoma may occur in 3% of patients [15] . Nevertheless, local or distant metastases have been reported also in patients affected by GC1s with low proliferation index (< 2%), small size and exclusive intramucosal invasion [16][17][18][19] . In addition, GC1s frequently recur (5%-67% of cases after endoscopic treatment) [20,21] , with a median recurrence-free time interval of 24 mo after endoscopic resection.…”

“…3,[21][22][23][24] With larger lesions, endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) can be used to maximize complete endoscopic resection rates, 3,20,23,25 if there is no muscularis propria invasion. 20,[26][27][28] Surgical resection is generally recommended in the case of involvement of the muscularis propria and/or local lymph nodes documented by ultrasound endoscopy. 3,20,26 However, gNET-1s often represent a multifocal and recurring disease and, in cases of multiple (6 lesions), recurrent, partially invasive (beyond submucosa), > 2 cm sized tumors, guidelines are lacking and not as univocal.…”
