Primary gastric choriocarcinomas (PGC) are very rare and aggressive neoplasms with a worrisome prognosis. Most cases are reported in Asia and presented in middle-aged adults with male predominance. Most cases are associated with an intestinal adenocarcinoma; however, the pathogenesis of this tumor is uncertain. No previous reports exist of the characteristics of the non-tumoral stomach in these patients, and this data that could help to clarify their pathogenesis. We presented a series of three cases of PGC in Latin American patients, emphasizing the characteristics of non-neoplastic mucosa.
原发性胃绒毛膜癌(PGC)非常罕见且具有侵袭性,预后令人担忧。大多数病例报告于亚洲,多见于中年成年人,男性居多。大多数病例与肠腺癌相关;然而,这种肿瘤的发病机制尚不确定。此前尚无关于这些患者非肿瘤性胃的特征的报道,而这些数据可能有助于阐明其发病机制。我们报告了一系列三例拉丁美洲患者的PGC病例,重点强调了非肿瘤性黏膜的特征。
