Overview

Adenocarcinoma is a form of carcinoma that originates in glandular tissue. To be classified as adenocarcinoma, the cells do not necessarily need to be part of a gland, as long as they have secretory properties. This form of carcinoma can occur in some higher mammals, including humans.^[1] The term adenocarcinoma is derived from 'adeno' meaning 'pertaining to a gland' and 'carcinoma', which describes a cancer that has developed in the epithelial cells. It can first present as an adenoma (a glandular tumor that is benign).

Pathophysiology

Examples of tissues where adenocarcinomas may arise:

Breast cancer
Colon cancer
Lung cancer
Prostate cancer
Stomach cancer
Pancreatic cancer (99% of pancreatic cancers are ductal adenocarcinomas [2])
Cervical cancer
Vaginal cancer

-Image:gastcarc_enface.jpg|This cancer presented in a 40-year-old woman complaining of abdominal pain. Endoscopically it was a "very suspicious" ulcer. Biopsy showed diffusely infiltrating signet ring cell adenocarcinoma. These are gross photos of the subtotal gastrectomy specimen. The photo above is a seen face view of the ulcer. The pyloric margin is to the left. The ulcer is on the lesser curvature.
-Image:Gastcarc xsec.jpg|This is a longitudinal section cut in the plane of the lesser curvature. The pylorus is to the left. Note several prominent nodes of the lesser omentum; these contained metastatic cancer.
