ABSTRACT
ß-Human chorionic gonadotropin (ß-HCG) is an embryonic protein secreted by the syncytiotrophoblast of the placenta. The determination of the plasma ß-HCG level is routinely used for the diagnosis and the follow-up of germ cell tumors. Some adenocarcinomas have been described as being rarely associated with ß-HCG hypersecretion. We report a case of gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma with ß-HCG hypersecretion and propose hypotheses to explain the pathogenesis of such hypersecretion.
