Crypt cell carcinoma, also known as goblet cell carcinoid[1][2] and neuroendocrine tumour with goblet cell differentiation, is a rare malignant tumour that is typically seen in the vermiform appendix.

General

  • Rare appendiceal tumour that typically has an aggressive course vis-a-vis other appendiceal carcinoids.[1]
  • Mixed (biphasic) tumour with endocrine and exocrine features.
  • Usually presents as acute appendicitis.[3]
    • Less common presentations: appendiceal mass, pain.
  • Five year survival in one series: 60-85%.[3]

Gross

  • Typically no mass is apparent at gross.[3]

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Mixed neuroendocrine-nonneuroendocrine tumour;[4] features of both carcinoid and adenocarcinoma.[3]
    • Archictecture: cells arranged in nests or clusters without a lumen.
    • Location: deep to the intestinal crypts (crypts of Lieberkühn); usually do not involve the mucosa.
    • Cytoplasm distended with mucin.
    • DNA: crescentic nucleus (similar to in signet-ring cells).
      • +/-Multinucleation.
      • +/-High mitotic rate.
      • Usually minimal nuclear atypia.

Stains

  • Mucin stains +ve:
    • Mucicarmine, perodic acid-Schiff diastase (PAS-D), alcian blue.

IHC

  • Classic neuroendocrine markers:
    • Synaptophysin +ve.
    • Chromogranin +ve.
  • S-100 +ve.
  • NSE +ve.
  • Serotonin +ve.

Keratins:

  • Usually CK20 +ve > CK7 +ve.
  • CEA +ve (membrane).

Notes:

  • Nice review of stains in Pahlavan and Kanthan.[3]
