Recently, fundic gland type gastric adenocarcinoma (GA-FG) has been reported as a new entity. This report describes GA-FG among Koreans for the first time. From March 2008 to July 2010 we identified only three cases of GA-FG out of over 6,000 GAs resected by endoscopy or surgery. Cell differentiation by mucin proteins, pepsinogen-I, and H+/K+-ATPase was evaluated. All three cases were male patients and diagnosed as early stage GA. Histologically, GA-FGs were well-differentiated adenocarcinoma with pale gray-blue, basophilic columnar or cuboidal cells and mildly enlarged nuclei, resembling chief cells. All three cases were positive for pepsinogen-I and were classified as gastric mucin phenotype. Among three histologic subtypes of GA-FG, since tumors were mainly composed of chief cells, our three cases were classified as chief cell predominant type. In conclusion, GA-FG is very rare among Koreans and pepsinogen-I and MUC6 expression are typical immunohistochemical findings in GA-FG suggesting differentiation toward fundic glands.

Abstract PDF

BACKGROUND
Liqui-PREP(TM) (LP) is a new liquid-based cytologic preparation that produces a thin layer of cells.
METHODS
Thyroid aspirates were obtained from 189 patients and divided to prepare pairs of conventional preparation (CP) and LP slides. The CP slides were routinely diagnosed by attending staffs and classified into the six categories. LP slides were independently evaluated by three cytopathologists and classified in an identical manner. Agreements between CP and LP diagnoses were investigated and interobserver variability of thyroid aspiration cytology results obtained using the LP method was determined using kappa values. RESULTS: CP and LP slides from 155 patients (83%) were identically classified by all of three cytopathologists. Concurrences between CP and LP diagnoses for the three cytopathologists were 89% (kappa=0.78), 92% (kappa=0.87), and 85% (kappa=0.70), respectively. Interobserver agreement among the three cytopathologists for LP slides ranged from substantial to almost perfect (kappa=0.84, 0.74 and 0.84). However, a lack of interobserver agreement was found for LP slides of the undetermined category as determined by original CP-based diagnoses. Moreover, cytomorphological alterations in the benign category appeared more worrisome for LP slides.
CONCLUSIONS
An awareness of the novel cytomorphologic changes induced by the LP method is needed to avoid misinterpretations.

Abstract PDF: Placental transmogrification (PT) is an unusual condition in which the alveoli develop a peculiar villous configuration that resembles the placental villi. We report a rare case of pulmonary PT in a 46-year-old man who presented with multiple cystic lesions and nodules on radiography. The patient was treated with a surgical excision. The cut surface of the lung lesion had a villous spongiform manifestation with a partly yellow granular appearance. Microscopically, multiple papillary cores mimicking the villous structures of the placenta were observed within the bullous airspaces. These papillary cores contained many vascular structures, lymphoid aggregates, interstitial clear cells, mature fat and dystrophic calcification. This case was solitary and not associated with other pulmonary or systemic diseases. The etiology is unknown, and further studies will be needed to understand the pathogenesis of the lesion.
