摘 要：AIM:To identify those with a micropapillary pattern,ascertain relative frequency and document clinicopathological characteristics by reviewing gastric ***:One hundred and fifty-one patients diagnosed with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy were retrospectively studied and the presence of a regional invasive micropapillary component was evaluated by light *** available hematoxylin-eosin(HE)-stained slides were histologically reviewed and 5 tumors were selected as putative micropapillary carcinoma when cancer cell clusters without a vascular core within empty lymphatic-like space comprised at least5%of the *** tissues from these 5 invasive gastric carcinomas were immunostained using an antimucin 1(MUC1)antibody(clone MA695)to detect the characteristic inside-out pattern and with D2-40antibody to determine the presence of intratumoral lymph *** of intraepithelial neutrophil apoptosis was evaluated in consecutive histological tissue sections by three independent methods,namely light microscopy with HE staining,the conventional terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated d UTP-biotin nick end-labeling(TUNEL)method and immunohistochemistry for activated caspase-3(clone C92-605).RESULTS:Among 151 gastric cancers resected for cure,5(3.3%)were adenocarcinomas with a micropapillary *** of the patients died of disease from 6 to 23 mo and one patient was alive with metastases at 9 *** patients had advanced-stage cancer(≥p T2)and lymph node *** MUC1 immunostaining on the stroma-facing surface(inside-out pattern)of the carcinomatous cluster cells,together with negative immunostaining for D2-40 in the cells limiting lymphatic-like spaces,confirmed the true micropapillary pattern in these gastric *** all five cases,several micropapillae were infiltrated by *** staining,TUNEL assay and immunostaining for caspase-3 demonstrated apoptoticneutrophils within cytoplasmic vacuoles of
