A case of metachronous cancer of gastrointestinal tract is reported. Three poorly differentiated malignant epithelial tumours developed in a 27-year-old patient within three years. They located in the stomach, small and large intestine. Light-microscopically, the tumours were formed mainly of non-differentiated rounded cells with occasional signet ring cells. At electron microscopic examination the presence of mucin granules was confirmed. Moreover, a variable amount of electron-dense endocrine-like granules was found in tumour cells. According to some publications, endocrine differentiation of gastrointestinal cancers is considered to be a poor prognostic feature, hence electron microscopy or special staining when possible can be important in the evaluation of prognosis.

D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009077 Mucins High molecular weight mucoproteins that protect the surface of EPITHELIAL CELLS by providing a barrier to particulate matter and microorganisms. Membrane-anchored mucins may have additional roles concerned with protein interactions at the cell surface. Mucin
