Primary gastric small cell carcinoma (GSCC) is an extremely rare type of small cell carcinoma. Its aggressive nature with early widespread metastasis and late detection gives it a poor prognosis with overall survival of <12 months. GSCC is a type of neuroendocrine tumor, and because of its histopathological similarity to small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), treatment regimen of GSCC includes the same chemotherapy agents as SCLC. We report a case of a 57-year-old man who presented with signs of partial gastrointestinal obstruction and was found to have a primary stage IV GSCC with metastasis to the liver.
原发性胃小细胞癌(GSCC)是一种极为罕见的小细胞癌类型。其侵袭性强,早期广泛转移且发现较晚,导致预后较差,总体生存期<12个月。GSCC是一种神经内分泌肿瘤,由于其组织病理学与小细胞肺癌(SCLC)相似,GSCC的治疗方案包括与SCLC相同的化疗药物。我们报告一例57岁男性病例,该患者表现出部分胃肠道梗阻症状,经检查发现为原发性IV期GSCC并伴有肝转移。
