Question

Which of the following is epithelial tumor of stomach?

• A. Carcinoid
• B. Lymphoma
• C. GIST
• D. Gastric adenocarcinoma

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

In the study of pathology, tumors can be classified based on the type of tissue from which they originate. Epithelial tumors arise from epithelial cells, which are the cells that line organs and structures in the body.

Options Analysis:

• Carcinoid: This is a type of neuroendocrine tumor, not an epithelial tumor.
• Lymphoma: This refers to a group of blood cancers that develop from lymphocytes, not epithelial cells.
• GIST (Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor): These tumors arise from the interstitial cells of Cajal in the gastrointestinal tract, not from epithelial cells.
• Gastric adenocarcinoma: This is a malignant epithelial tumor originating from the glandular epithelium of the stomach.

Therefore, the correct answer is Gastric adenocarcinoma as it is the only option listed that is an epithelial tumor of the stomach.
