A 55-year-old man visited our hospital for a detailed examination of a gastric submucosal tumor that was first detected 10 years prior. The tumor continued to grow and had developed a depressed area in its center. A histopathological examination of biopsy specimens revealed gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland type (GA-FG). It was diagnosed as T2 based on the invasion depth as determined by white-light endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography. A total gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy was performed and a GA-FG in the mucosa and submucosa was confirmed histopathologically. However, there was a gradual transition to an infiltrative tubular adenocarcinoma with poorly differentiated components in the muscular and subserosal layers. Metastasis was identified in a dissected lymph node (LN). This is the first report of a GA-FG progressing to an aggressive cancer with LN metastasis. These findings modify our understanding of the pathophysiology of GA-FG.

Background: Distant recurrence of esophageal cancer (EC), even after radical resection, is common, and the most frequent site of EC metastasis is the liver. However, a multidisciplinary treatment strategy for postoperative liver metastasis (LM) from EC has yet to be established; in particular, the role of liver-directed therapy (LDT) remains uncertain. We investigated the clinicopathological features and outcomes of patients undergoing post-esophagectomy LM with versus without LDT to explore its therapeutic implications. Methods: Among 624 consecutive patients undergoing R0/R1 esophagectomy for EC, 30 were identified in whom LM had developed as the initial recurrence. Their characteristics were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Six of the 30 subjects underwent LDT for metachronous LM. Five of those 6 also received systemic chemotherapy. A comparison between the 6 LDT and 24 non-LDT cases revealed no significant differences in major clinicopathological and operative factors, except for concurrent metastasis to extrahepatic organs (1/6 vs. 15/24, p=0.044). Twenty-nine of the 30 patients died during the study period, whereas 1 who had received multimodal treatment with LDT remained alive more than 200 months after multiple LM had been detected. Kaplan-Meier analysis for survival after LM demonstrated significantly prolonged survival in LDT cases compared to non-LDT cases treated with systemic chemotherapy alone (p=0.014). Even when the analysis was limited to patients without extrahepatic metastasis, this significant prognostic advantage of LDT was maintained (p=0.047). Conclusion: Multimodal treatment combined with LDT might be beneficial for patients with metachronous LM from EC and should therefore be considered a potential treatment option.
