We demonstrated that the dormant and aggressive variants of tubular adenocarcinomas (TUBs) of the stomach are characterized by loss of MYC and gain of TP53 and gain of MYC and/or loss of TP53, respectively.
Herein, we report a case of 2 synchronous lung adenocarcinomas composed of 2 distinct pathological subtypes with different EGFR mutations: homozygous deletion in exon 19 in the papillary subtype of adenocarcinoma and a point mutation of L858R in exon 21 in the tubular adenocarcinoma.
In the present study, we report cases of two synchronous lung adenocarcinomas composed of two distinct pathological subtypes with different EGFR gene mutations: a homozygous deletion in exon 19 of the papillary adenocarcinoma subtype and a point mutation of L858R in exon 21 of the tubular adenocarcinoma.
We demonstrated that the dormant and aggressive variants of tubular adenocarcinomas (TUBs) of the stomach are characterized by loss of MYC and gain of TP53 and gain of MYC and/or loss of TP53, respectively.
However, array CGH revealed that, of the 13 intramucosal TUBs examined, loss of MYC (MYC-) and gain of TP53 (TP53+) was detected in 9 TUBs and MYC+ and/or TP53- was detected in 3 TUBs.
The inactivation of wild-type TP53 is an earlier event before dedifferentiation of TUB to mixed-type UGC, but is less frequent and a later event in a subset of mixed-type UGC deriving from SIG..
The EBER (+)/TP53 (+) component with massive lymphoid infiltrate surrounded the EBER (-)/TP53 (-) component showing well to moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma.
