Abstract Introduction Heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) in esophagus is commonly noted as an inlet patch at endoscopy. We describe a rare patient with symptomatic distal esophageal HGM. Case Report A 40-year-old male presented with retrosternal pain and marked odynophagia for the last 4 weeks without any history of ingestion of antibiotics, foreign body, or corrosive. Endoscopy showed abrupt circumferential transition to salmon pink mucosa at 35 cm from incisors. From 35 to 41 cm, there were areas of polypoid edematous thickening with few superficial ulcers of 1 to 3 mm. Squamous epithelium was visualized at narrow band imaging from 41 cm to the Z-line at 43 cm with no hiatus hernia. Biopsy showed gastric-type mucosa with parietal cells without dysplasia. Serology for cytomegalovirus and human immunodeficiency virus was negative. He was managed with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and prokinetics and improved symptomatically. Follow-up endoscopy at 3 months demonstrated healing of ulcers with persistence of HGM and pseudopolyps. He remains well on maintenance with PPI at 1-year follow-up. Conclusion Symptomatic HGM in distal esophagus is rare and can be differentiated from Barrett’s esophagus histologically and by presence of squamous epithelium between HGM and stomach. Inflammatory mass lesions may develop and mimic esophageal malignancy. Symptoms are largely due to acid production and usually respond to PPI.

Duodenal Biopsies

Crohn disease (CD) not uncommonly involves the upper gastrointestinal tract, usually gastric antrum and proximal duodenum. The most consistent histopathologic manifestations of CD in duodenal biopsies are mucosal erosion, focal active inflammation, and granulomas. Since CD is a transmural inflammation and since duodenal biopsy may include submucosal Brunner glands, we aimed to find if CD has any specific histopathologic manifestations in Brunner gland lobules and their ducts compared to other duodenal inflammatory lesions. We carried out a retrospective review study over 6 years retrieving duodenal biopsy specimens in CD patients. We compared duodenal specimens involved by CD with other inflammatory lesions, for example, ulcerative colitis (UC), Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis, non-Helicobacter gastritis, Celiac sprue, infections, and drugs. We found focal active duodenitis and erosion in CD cases and non-CD cases. Granulomas were found in CD cases. Five cases of CD showed inflammatory and degenerative changes of Brunner glands. Focal patchy active inflammation of only portion of submucosal Brunner gland lobule, mucosal Brunner glands, and their ducts was solely found in CD cases. This focally enhanced inflammation of Brunner glands was not found in other lesions. Whether this phenomenon of focal active “lobulitis” and “ductitis” is a specific sign of duodenal CD compared to UC and other inflammatory lesions warrants verification. We encourage endoscopists to include submucosal Brunner lobules in their duodenal biopsy samples and pathologists to look for these patterns of involvement particularly in patients suspected of CD.

Peutz Jeghers Syndrome

ObjectivesTo perform a systematic review of gastric-type adenocarcinoma of the cervix and lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia (a possible precursor lesion) in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, and to analyze data from the literature, along with our institutional experience, to determine recommendations for screening and detection.MethodsA comprehensive literature searc and retrospective search of pathology records at our institutio were conducted. Articles were screened by two independent reviewers. Case reports/series on lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia/gastric-type adenocarcinoma of the cervix in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome were included. Demographic, clinical, and radiologic information was collected.ResultsA total of 1564 publications were reviewed; 38 met the inclusion criteria. Forty-nine were included in the analysis (43 from the literature, 6 from our institution). Forty-three reported on gastric-type adenocarcinoma alone, 4 on lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia alone, and 2 on concurrent lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia/gastric-type adenocarcinoma. Median age at diagnosis was 17 (range, 4–52) for patients with lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia alone and 35 (range, 15–72) for those with gastric-type adenocarcinoma. The most common presenting symptoms were abdominal/pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding/discharge. Imaging was reported for 27 patients; 24 (89%) had abnormal cervical features. Papanicolaou (Pap) smear prior to diagnosis was reported for 12 patients; 6 (50%) had normal cytology, 4 (33%) atypical glandular cells, and 2 (17%) atypical cells not otherwise specified. Patients with gastric-type adenocarcinoma (n=45) were treated with surgery alone (n=16), surgery/chemotherapy/radiation (n=11), surgery/chemotherapy (n=9), surgery/radiation (n=5), or radiation/chemotherapy (n=4). Twelve (27%) of 45 patients recurred; median progression-free survival was 10 months (range, 1–148). Twenty patients (44%) died; median overall survival was 26 months (range, 2–156). Thirteen patients (27%) were alive with no evidence of disease.ConclusionsGastric-type adenocarcinoma in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is associated with poor outcomes and short progression-free and overall survival. Screening recommendations, including pathognomonic symptom review and physical examination, with a low threshold for imaging and biopsy, may detect precursor lesions and early-stage gastric-type adenocarcinoma, leading to better outcomes in this high-risk population.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42019118151

PURPOSE: Triple negative breast cancers (estrogen, progesterone and human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) receptor-negative) are among the most aggressive forms of cancers with limited treatment options. Doxorubicin is one of the agents found in many of the current cancer treatment protocols, although its use is limited by dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. This work investigates one of the ways to suppress cancer growth by inhibiting tumor cell ability to remove acid accumulated during its metabolism by proton pump inhibitor esomeprazole (a drug with extensive clinical use) which could serve as an addition to doxorubicin therapy. METHODS: In this work, we have investigated growth suppression of triple-negative breast cancer cells MDA-MB-468 by esomeprazole and doxorubicin by trypan blue exclusion assay. Measurement of acidification of treated cancer cells was performed using intracellular pH-sensitive probe, BCECF-AM. Finally, expression of gastric type proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase, a target for esomeprazole) on MDA-MB-468 cells was detected by immunofluorescence and Western blotting. RESULTS: We have found that esomeprazole suppresses growth of triple-negative breast cancer cell in vitro in a dose-dependent manner through increase in their intracellular acidification. In contrast, esomeprazole did not have significant effect on non-cancerous breast epithelial MCF-10A cells. Esomeprazole increases doxorubicin effects suggesting that dual treatments might be possible. In addition, response of MDA-MB-468 cells to esomeprazole could be mediated by gastric type proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase) in cancer cells contrary to previous beliefs that this proton pump expression is restricted to parietal cells of the stomach epithelia. CONCLUSION: This study provides first evidence that adjunct use of esomeprazole in breast cancer treatment might be a possible to combat adverse effects of doxorubicin and increase its effectiveness. This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.

Abstract Background: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome(PJS) is a very rare autosomal dominant disorder with predisposition to multiple neoplasms. Gastric-type adenocarcinoma (GAS) is a less common carcinoma of the cervix than squamous cell carcinoma, which is more aggressive and has lower 5 year survival rate than usual type endocervical adenocarcinoma (ECA), and unrelated to human papilloma virus(HPV) infection as well. We present a 32 year-old patient with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome who was found to have gastric-type adenocarcinoma of the cervix.Case presentation: A 32-year-old woman without sexual life ever who was diagnosed Peutz-Jeghers syndrome when she was two years old presented with watery discharge for more than 6 months. A tumor around 6cm was found on the cervix and she was diagnosed gastric-type mucinous adenocarcinoma of the cervix clinical stage IB3. She was treated with artery intervention chemotherapy for one course followed by radical surgery and then systematic chemotherapy.Conclusions: The case suggests more thorough cancer screening for patients with PJS as the disorder is rare and has high risk of malignancies. Young patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, including those without sexual life, who have watery discharge or bleeding should be screened for cervical carcinoma even if cytologic results or human papilloma virus (HPV) is negative.

BackgroundTo evaluate the clinical risk factors that influence the overall survival in patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma (DA) after tumor resection.MethodsThis study retrospectively analyzed 188 patients who underwent tumor resection for DA between January 2005 and June 2020 at Xiangyang Central Hospital.ResultsThe median survival of the patients who underwent resectional operation was 54 months, longer than of those who underwent palliative surgery (20.8 months) (2,916.17; 95% CI, 916.3−9,280.5; p < 0.001). Survival of non-ampullary duodenal carcinoma patients (50.3 months; 95% CI, 39.7−61.8) was similar to that of ampullary duodenal carcinoma patients (59.3 months; 95% CI, 38.6−66.7) but was significantly better than that of papillary adenocarcinoma patients (38.9 months; 95% CI, 29.8−54.8; p = 0.386). Those with intestinal-type ductal adenocarcinomas had a longer median overall survival than those with the gastric type (61.8 vs. 46.7 months; p < 0.01) or pancreatic type (32.2 months; p < 0.001). Clinical DA samples had significantly diverse expressions of ATG12, IRS2, and IGF2. Higher expressions of the ATG12 and IRS2 proteins were significantly correlated with worse survival. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that lymph node metastasis (hazard ratio (HR), 6.44; 95% CI, 3.68−11.27; p < 0.0001), margin status (HR, 4.94; 95% CI, 2.85−8.54; p < 0.0001), and high expression of ATG12 (HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.17−3.06; p = 0.0099) were independent prognostic factors negatively associated with survival in patients undergoing curative resection. There was no survival difference between the groups with ampullary, non-ampullary, and papillary adenocarcinomas treated with adjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.973).ConclusionGastric/pancreatic type, high expression of ATG12, lymph node metastases, and margin status were negative prognosticators of survival in patients with DAs than in those with tumor anatomical location. Curative resection is the best treatment option for appropriate patients.
