Primary gastric small cell carcinoma (GSCC) is one of the gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It is a rare cancer with a very aggressive behavior and a poor prognosis because of the high rate of metastases. It is usually found in far advanced stage. We experienced a case of GSCC which had developed into a large subepithelial tumor (SET) from invisible state in a short period. A 65-year-old man consulted our hospital because of early gastric cancer. He underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection for the early gastric cancer at high body posterior wall. After 6 months, the follow-up endoscopy showed a large newly developed SET-like lesion with central ulceration at the gastric cardia. Endoscopic biopsy revealed GSCC. Total gastrectomy was performed. One out of the 26 perigastric lymph nodes had a metastasis. He received 6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy with etoposide and cisplatin. He is still in good health 12 months after operation.
原发性胃小细胞癌(GSCC)是胃肠胰神经内分泌肿瘤之一。它是一种罕见的癌症,行为极具侵袭性,由于转移率高,预后较差。它通常在晚期才被发现。我们遇到一例GSCC,在短时间内从不可见状态发展为巨大的黏膜下肿瘤(SET)。一名65岁男性因早期胃癌前来我院就诊。他因高位体后壁早期胃癌接受了内镜黏膜下剥离术。6个月后,随访内镜检查显示胃贲门处有一个新出现的巨大SET样病变,中央有溃疡。内镜活检显示为GSCC。遂行全胃切除术。26个胃周淋巴结中有1个发生转移。他接受了6个周期的依托泊苷和顺铂辅助化疗。术后12个月他仍健康状况良好。
