Colorectal cancer during pregnancy is one of the less common neoplasms with an incidence of 0.8 in 100,000 pregnancies. Primary colonic signet ring cell carcinoma is a weird variety, characterized by a poor histologic differentiation, with a high morbidity-mortality rate. The case of a 24-year-old patient with a 22-week-old pregnancy and colorectal cancer stage IV in palliative state is presented, with a devastating result. Early diagnosis represents a challenge because of the presentation form and the histologic aggressiveness of this disease. We suggest that colorectal cancer during pregnancy must be treated by a multidisciplinary team.

Objective: Signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a rare histopathological subtype of colorectal cancer (CRC) constituting approximately 1% of CRC cases. This study analyzed the incidence and survival rates of colorectal SRCC. Methods: We analyzed the incidence and survival rates of colorectal SRCCs based on patients’ data of the Korea Central Cancer Registry. Results: The age-standardized incidence rates of colon and rectum SRCC in 2017 were 0.17 and 0.07 individuals per 100,000, respectively. Between 1993 and 2017, the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year relative survival rates of patients with colon SRCC were 65.6%, 49.0%, 38.9%, 34.9%, and 33.0%, respectively, while those of patients with rectum SRCC were 69.6%, 47.8%, 38.5%, 32.8%, and 29.4%, respectively. According to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results summary stages, the 5-year relative survival rates of colon SRCC between 1993 and 2017 were 70.4% for the localized stage, 41.0% for the regional stage, and 7.0% for the distant stage, while those for rectum SRCC were 60.7%, 34.4, and 3.3%, respectively. Conclusions: Although the incidence of colorectal SRCC is extremely low in South Korea, it has been increasing in recent decades. As the prognosis of colorectal SRCC is extremely poor; clinicians should be aware of the differential diagnosis of SRCC in colorectal cancer cases.

488 Background: Signet ring cell carcinoma of the colon (SRCC) represents less than 1% of all colon carcinomas. We retrospectively examined the metastatic patterns and prognosis of SRCC in comparison to adenocarcinoma (AC) of the colon. Methods: A total of 763 patients diagnosed with SRCC and 42,875 patients with AC of the colon from 2010 to 2012 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. Age, race, gender, primary site, grade, stage, metastatic site and survival data were collected. Results: Out of 43,638 patients, 78.7% were white, 12.5% black and 8.8% other races. Median age of diagnosis was 67.5 years for SRCC as compared to 69.1 years for AC . SRCC was more likely to be grade III or IV (92% vs 21.6%; p < 0.001), to be found in the right colon (63.7% vs 49.4%; p < 0.001) and to present as advanced stage (40.2% vs 29.4% for stage III and 37.1% vs 22.3% for stage IV; p < 0.001). SRCC was more likely to present with metastases to the brain (11.0% vs 1.3%; p < 0.001) and bone (6.4% vs 4.1%; p < 0.001), while AC subjects were more likely to present with metastases to the liver (77.0% vs 22.1%; p < 0.001) and lung (21.2% vs 5.8%; p < 0.001). The 5 year overall survival rate (5-YSR) was 28.2% (CI, 24.5% to 32.4%) for SRCC compared to 50.8% (CI, 50.1% to 51.6%) for AC (Hazard ratio for death, 1.38; CI, 1.26 to 1.52; P < 0.001). The differences in stage specific 5-year survival rates for SRCC and AC were not statistically significant for stage I and stage II. However, SRCC had a lower 5-YSR for stage III (34.5% vs 55.4%) and stage IV (3.3% vs 10.8%). Conclusions: SRCC of the colon has worse survival rates for advanced stages when compared to AC. SRCC presents at earlier age, with advanced tumor grade and stage at diagnosis. The metastatic behavior of SRCC is different than AC with a higher incidence of brain and bone metastases at diagnosis.

Primary signet ring cell/histiocytoid carcinoma of the eyelid is a rare ocular malignancy and its diagnosis is often delayed. This neoplasm presents as an insidious, diffusely infiltrative mass in the periocular area that later infiltrates the orbit. An exenteration is usually indicated; however, nearly one-third of patients develop local recurrence or metastasis. Morphologically, it resembles signet ring cell carcinoma of the stomach and breast, raising the possibility of mutations in CDH1, the gene encoding E-cadherin. To determine whether primary signet ring cell/histiocytoid carcinoma harbors the CDH1 mutation or other actionable mutations, we analyzed the tumor tissue via next-generation sequencing. We identified only one case of primary signet ring cell carcinoma of the eyelid with adequate DNA quality for sequencing from the pathological archive during the period 2000 to 2020. A comprehensive evaluation including histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and next-generation sequencing assay was performed on tumor tissue. Immunohistochemically, the tumor exhibited E-cadherin membranous staining with the aberrant cytoplasmic staining of β-catenin. Using next-generation sequencing, we demonstrated the mutation in the CDH1 gene. In addition, other clinically actionable mutations including ERBB2 and PIK3CA were also detected. The alterations in other actionable genes indicate a need for larger studies to evaluate the pathogenesis and potential therapies for primary signet ring cell/histiocytoid carcinoma of the eyelid.

Pseudo-signet ring parietal cell vacuolation has been described as a mimic of invasive signet ring cell carcinoma. Moreover, signet ring cell carcinoma has been described in a fundic gland polyp. This case demonstrates parietal cell vacuolation in a fundic gland polyp in a patient on a long-term proton pump inhibitor.
