Goblet cell adenocarcinoma is a rare malignant tumour that is typically seen in the vermiform appendix.[1]

It has gone by a number of different names in the past: crypt cell carcinoma,[2] goblet cell carcinoid[3][4][5] and neuroendocrine tumour with goblet cell differentiation.

General

  • Rare appendiceal tumour that typically has an aggressive course vis-à-vis appendiceal carcinoids.[4]
  • Mixed (biphasic) tumour with endocrine and exocrine features.
  • Usually presents as acute appendicitis.[5]
    • Less common presentations: appendiceal mass, pain.
  • Five year survival in one series: 60-85%.[5]

Gross

  • Typically no mass is apparent at gross.[5]

Note:

Microscopic

Features:[5]

  • Mixed neuroendocrine-nonneuroendocrine tumour;[6] features of both carcinoid and adenocarcinoma.[5]
    • 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).
      • +/-Multi-nucleation.
      • +/-High mitotic rate.
      • Usually minimal nuclear atypia.

Stains

IHC

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

Keratins:

  • CEA +ve (membrane).

Notes:

  • Review of stains in Pahlavan and Kanthan.[5]
