Stomach adenoma, also gastric adenoma, is a precursor to adenocarcinoma of the stomach.

Gastric columnar dysplasia, gastric dysplasia and tubular adenoma of the stomach direct here.

General

  • Lesions that protrude into the lumen and are macroscopically apparent are known as: adenomas.[1]
  • Polypoid forms are grouped various ways.[2]

Grading

Like in the colon - they are divided into:

  • Low grade.
  • High grade.

Subclassification

One subclassification:[3]

Microscopic

  • Histologic criteria similar to columnar dysplasia in the esophagus.
    • The threshold is much lower than in the colon and rectum.

Foveolar type

Features:

  • Hyperchromasia at the surface - key feature.
  • Cytoplasm with (shortened) champagne flute-like luminal aspect (apical mucin caps).
  • Nuclear changes:
    • Hyperchromasia.
    • Enlargement.
  • No intestinal metaplasia.

DDx:

Intestinal type

Features - intestinal:

  • Intestinal metaplasia.
  • Hyperchromasia of cytoplasm.
  • Nuclear changes:
    • Loss of nuclear polarity.
    • Increased NC ratio.
    • Elongation of nucleus and pseudostratification.

Grading

Low-grade gastric dysplasia

Features:

  • Nuclear changes:
    • Nuclear crowding/pseudostratification with hyperchromasia.
    • Elongation of nuclei (cigar-shaped nuclei).
    • Nuclear stratification intact; nuclei close to the basement membrane.
  • Architecture:
    • Focal irregularities in the glandular contours.

Negatives:

  • No desmoplasia.
  • No necrosis.
  • No surface maturation.

DDx:

  • Indefinite for dysplasia.
  • High-grade gastric columnar dysplasia - see below.
    • The threshold is much lower than in the colon and rectum!

High-grade gastric dysplasia

Features:

  • Nuclear changes:
    • Round hyperchromatic nuclei.
    • Loss of normal nuclear stratification.
  • Architecture:
    • Irregularities in the glandular contours.
    • Back-to-back glands.
    • +/-Cribriforming of the glands.
    • +/-Necrosis.

Indefinite for dypslasia

STOMACH, ANTRUM, BIOPSIES:
- ANTRAL-TYPE MUCOSA INDEFINITE FOR DYSPLASIA WITH MODERATE CHRONIC INFLAMMATION.
- EXTENSIVE INTESTINAL METAPLASIA.
- NEGATIVE FOR HELICOBACTER-LIKE ORGANSIMS.
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.

Intestinal type

 STOMACH, ANTRUM, BIOPSIES:
- ANTRAL-TYPE MUCOSA WITH FOCUS OF LOW-GRADE DYSPLASIA (INTESTINAL TYPE).
- EXTENSIVE INTESTINAL METAPLASIA.
- MODERATE CHRONIC INFLAMMATION.
- NEGATIVE FOR HELICOBACTER-LIKE ORGANSIMS.
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.

Foveolar type

STOMACH POLYP, EXCISION:
- ADENOMATOUS POLYP, FOVEOLAR TYPE.
- NEGATIVE FOR HIGH-GRADE DYSPLASIA. 
- NEGATIVE FOR HELICOBACTER-LIKE ORGANISMS.

Foveolar type with high-grade dysplasia

STOMACH POLYP, EXCISION:
- LARGE ADENOMATOUS POLYP (FOVEOLAR TYPE) WITH HIGH-GRADE DYSPLASIA.
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
