'''Signet ring cell carcinoma''', abbreviated '''SRCC''', is a type of malignant epithelial neoplasm that can arise from a number of places. It is commonly associated with the [[stomach]]. | |||

*It has been said that there are two types of pathologists... those that have missed SRCCs ''and'' those that will miss SRCCs. | *Signet ring cell carcinoma are notoriously easy to miss in a small biopsy. | ||
**It has been said that there are two types of pathologists... those that have missed SRCCs ''and'' those that will miss SRCCs. | |||
*The name comes from the shape of cells. They look like signet rings that are lying flat on the ground and one is looking from above - see microscopic section. | |||
