Male,

Presents with SBO. Nodule in stomach and small bowel (below).
CK20 (both sites)
CK7
TTF-1
TTF-1 from SB nodule
Ki67
Final bits of Hx

GOJ mass--> large, extends in oesophagus.
No lung masses on imaging.
I have made this a bit of Hx difficult to directly access, to simulate finding Hx IRL...
Diagnosis:

Gastric neuroendocrine (small cell) carcinoma with metastasis to small bowel.
1/ Neuroendocrine carcinomas of the stomach are rare and only account for 1% of all gastric carcinomas.

2/ They are horrible and aggressive cancers than have a prognosis.

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29895024/
3/ TTF-1 can be expressed in gastric (and many other) small cell carcinomas and is not a reliable marker for lung mets.

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26469324/
4/ Recent studies show these tumours show different mutations compared with conventional gastric adenocarcinomas, including CPLX2 aka Complexin 2 (?future biomarker).

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28239029/
5/ Lastly, Merkel cell polyomavirus has been detected in this case report below (not this case) of small cell carcinoma, so primary gastric Merkel cell carcinoma anyone?
