Gastric Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor: A Case Report

International Journal of Surgical Pathology

Abstract

Gastric malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are sarcomas arising within a peripheral nerve. Gastric MPNSTs are extremely rare with only a few cases. We herein describe the case of a 48-year-old man with a gastric MPNST for the first time in Korea, which was diagnosed histopathologically after surgery. The patient underwent curative subtotal gastrectomy with D1+ lymph node dissection and Billroth-II reconstruction. The postoperative recovery was uneventful, and he has had no recurrence until now. The ideal adjuvant treatment protocol is yet to be decided due to the relatively limited number of cases of these tumors previously reported.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.
