Abstract:
Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach (HAS) , a rare and specific type of primary gastric adenocarcinoma, is a highly malignant neoplasm characterized by a poor prognosis and a histological component that mimicks hepatocellular carcinoma morphologically as well as immunophenotypically. In the literature, only liver and lymph nodes metastases have been identified as determinants for survival in patients with HAS.
