Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach is a rare neoplasm.
  • Accurate diagnosis and prognosis remain challenging, particularly differentiating it from primary hepatocellular carcinoma.

Observation:

  • Two cases are presented: one with high serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) responding well to chemotherapy, indicated by normalizing AFP levels.
  • The second case developed post-operative liver metastases, highlighting diagnostic difficulties.

Findings:

  • Elevated serum AFP is a potential marker in hepatoid adenocarcinoma.
  • Post-operative liver metastasis is common and poses diagnostic challenges.
  • Literature review on characteristics and prognosis of this rare neoplasm is included.

Implications:

  • Early detection and accurate histological diagnosis are crucial for effective treatment.
  • Understanding the behavior of hepatoid adenocarcinoma aids in patient management and prognosis.
  • Further research is needed to resolve diagnostic ambiguities and improve treatment strategies.
