Abstract | Gastrointestinal autonomic nerve (GAN) tumor is an uncommon neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract. Its histologic appearance is similar to other gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Ultrastructural demonstration of neural differentiation is required for its definitive diagnosis. Recently, we encountered two examples of GAN tumor that occurred in the body of the stomach and the cervical esophagus; the latter site has never been reported previously. These tumors showed unequivocal evidence of neural differentiation ultrastructurally, confirming the diagnosis of GAN tumor. Histologically, they were composed of swirling fascicles of spindle cells as well as a minor component of epithelioid cells, similar to that described previously. In addition, a cuff of lymphoid cells was noted at the peripheral part of both tumors and a scattering of mature plasma cells, lymphocytes, and foam cells was intermingled with the tumor cells. Such histologic features have not been described hitherto and can potentially be misinterpreted as features of inflammatory pseudotumor, inflammatory fibrosarcoma, or follicular dendritic cell tumor. There is a lack of CD34 expression in both tumors, but it would be premature to draw any conclusions about the potential usefulness of this observation. |
