要旨 症例は73歳の女性.体重減少を主訴に当院受診,上部消化管内視鏡検査にて異常を指摘された.胃X線では体上部前壁にbridging foldを伴う粘膜下腫瘍様の隆起性病変を認め,隆起の頂部には星芒状の陥凹を有していた.胃内視鏡検査では陥凹辺縁に蚕食像を認めた.胃亜全摘術が施行され,病理診断はpor2,pT1(sm),infα,ly0,v0,n0であった.腫瘍細胞は著明なリンパ球浸潤を伴って粘膜下層に浸潤しており,いわゆるリンパ球浸潤性髄様癌であった.免疫組織学的検索にてEBV-encoded small RNA (EBER)-1 in situ hybridization陽性であり,Epstein-Barr virus関連胃癌と考えられた.
A 73-year-old female visited our hospital for examination of body weight loss. X-ray and endoscopic examination of the stomach showed a protruded lesion on the anterior wall of the upper gastric body. The lesion looked like a submucosal tumor, and it had an irregular small depression on the top of the protrusion. A biopsy of the lesion demonstrated poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Endoscopic ultrasonography revealed a hypoechoic tumor in the second to third layer. Distal gastrectomy was performed. Histological investigation showed a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma extending to the submucosa with marked infiltration of lymphocytes. This was thought to be a gastric cancer with lymphoid stroma (GCLS). Immunohistological investigation showed that Epstein-Barr virus encoded RNA (EBER)-1 in situ hybridization was positive in the nuclei of the cancer cell, so it was considered to be an Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric cancer.
