One hundred and two cases of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma were obtained from 71 surgical and 31 biopsy specimens of the stomach. These tumours produced both intracellular and extracellular mucins, which were demonstrated to be neutral mucins, N-acetyl sialomucins, sulphomucins and O-acetyl sialomucins. The majority of tumours (85.3%) secreted two or more kinds of mucins simultaneously, but only a small proportion (14.7%) produced a single kind of mucin. Ultrastructurally, three types of mucin granules were identified; these differed in shape and density. Tumour cells containing intracellular mucins or mucin granules were designated as mucous cancer cells and further subdivided into small, large and goblet mucous cells; tumour cells having neither mucins nor glandular differentiation were designated as undifferentiated cancer cells. These histochemical distinctions, supported by the electron microscopical observations, may be useful to demonstrate early malignant foci in gastric biopsies.
