Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach (HAS) is a rare and aggressive subtype of gastric cancer (GC), accounting for less than 1% of all cases. It is characterized by frequent liver metastasis recurrence and a poorer prognosis than conventional GC. However, established treatment guidelines for HAS are currently not available.In this report, we present the results of a clinicopathological study of 19 patients diagnosed with HAS, including seven patients with liver metastasis, conducted by the Hiroshima Surgical Study Group of Clinical Oncology (HiSCO) between 2016 and 2018.
