A lesion confined to the mucosa and sub mucosa
A lesion confined to sub mucosa and muscular wall
Cauliflower growth projecting in to the lumen
"Linitis plastica" appearance in stomach wall
A. i.e. (A lesion confined to the mucosa and sub mucosa) (598 - Basic - pathology 8th) (570- Harsh mohan 5th) (598-Basic-pathology 8th) EARLY GASTRIC CARCINOMA - defined as a lesion confined to the mucosa and submucosa, regardless of the presence or absence of perigastric lymphnode metastasis ADVANCED GASTRIC CARCINOMA - a neoplasm that has extended below the submucosa into the muscular wall**Ulcerative carcinoma is the most common pattern of advanced carcinoma* Scirrhous carcinoma of stomach - stomach wall is thickened due to extensive desmoplasia giving the appearance as "leather - bottle stomach" or linitis plasticcT. The lumen of the stomach is reduced there are no ulcers but rugae are prominent* Stomach reveal fat- laden cells - seen in post gastrectomy* Watermelon stomach is seen in Scleroderma.
