Histologically tubulopapillary structures with glycogen-rich clear cytoplasm in gastric adenocarcinoma with enteroblastic differentiation (GAED) are well known, but a solid growth pattern can also be observed as a minor component. In contrast, hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) of the stomach shows many overlapping features, including solid pattern and alpha-fetoprotein expression. In this study, we employed next-generation sequencing (NGS) to establish a molecular/clinicopathological concept of GAED and clarify whether these two tumors should be grouped together in one category. Among 2273 primary gastric cancers treated in our hospital between 2008 and 2017, we defined 51 cases as GAEDs showing tubulopapillary or solid patterns that express at least one of the following markers: alpha-fetoprotein, glypican-3, or spalt-like transcription factor 4. All cases previously diagnosed as HAC in our hospital had clear cytoplasm and were included as GAEDs by histological re-evaluation and immunohistochemical findings. We performed NGS for 24 histologically typical GAEDs and Sanger sequencing for the remaining cases. The most frequently mutated gene was TP53, and almost all cases with missense mutation showed p53 overexpression. An analysis of copy number variation revealed that ERBB2 amplification was the most frequent in GAED. Additionally, HER2 immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed that 22% of informative cases were HER2 positive. There was no correlation between molecular/clinicopathological parameters and a-fetoprotein expression or growth patterns in GAED. Our analysis showed that GAED frequently harbors TP53 mutations and ERBB2 amplification. As with conventional gastric adenocarcinoma, trastuzumab may be effective for GAED. Furthermore, HAC may be subcategorized as a solid-type GAED. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
