Background:  Signet ring cell (SRC) carcinoma of the stomach is characterized by its poor prognosis and potential to infiltrate the wall of stomach, although survival studies comparing carcinomas with and without SRC features have yielded inconsistent results. This study compared the clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients with SRC carcinoma with those with non‐signet ring cell carcinoma of the stomach (NSRC).

Clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of signet ring cell carcinoma of the stomach: Results from a chinese mono‐institutional study
Signet ring cell carcinoma (SRC) of the stomach is a histological type based on microscopic characteristics, and its clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis are still controversial.
Chromogranin A expression correlates with tumour cell type and prognosis in signet ring cell carcinoma of the stomach
Aims:  To investigate neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation in gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) using chromogranin A (CgA) as an indicator of a well‐differentiated NE phenotype and to…
Signet ring cell mixed histology may show more aggressive behavior than other histologies in early gastric cancer
TLDR
Aim was to investigate clinicopathologic features of mixed‐SRC histology in early gastric cancer (EGC) and documented partly SRC component with main histologies.
Signet-Ring cell carcinoma of stomach in 13years old boy
TLDR
A 13-year-old boy who diagnosed by the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and on Histopathological examination which showed prominent signet-ring features is reported, which is uncommon in less than 20year of age.
Clinicopathologic Features of Gastric Carcinoma with Signet Ring Cell Histology
TLDR
When stage matched, SRC patients had a similar survival to NSRC patients, and curative resection is recommended to improve the prognosis of patients with SRC.
Gastric Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma: A Comparative Analysis of Clinicopathologic Features
TLDR
Patients with nSRC live longer than those with SRC, but the difference was not significant, and the clinical management of patients should take into account these particular features.
Differential Prognostic Implications of Gastric Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma
TLDR
Although conferring favorable prognosis in early stage, SRC has worse prognostic impact as disease progresses, which may result from disease status at presentation, which leads to differing prognosis compared with tubular adenocarinoma.

[Gastric signet ring cell carcinoma presenting. An erysipelas-like cutaneous metastasis of the abdominal skin].
TLDR
This case shows the unusual clinical-diagnostic sequence of a patient with a signet-ring-cell-carcinoma of the stomach presenting with an erysipelas-like cutaneous metastasis of the abdominal skin.
Difference Between Signet Ring Cell Gastric Cancers and Non-Signet Ring Cell Gastric Cancers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
TLDR
Signet ring cell carcinomas of the stomach are an increasingly common histopathological subtype of gastric cancers and are a negative prognostic factor for patients with advanced stage, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The clinicopathologic features and prognosis of signet cell carcinoma of the stomach in comparison with other types of gastric cancer are studied.
Early gastric carcinoma with signet ring cell histology
TLDR
The clinicopathologic features and prognosis of early SRC with other histologic types are compared to clarify the biologic behavior of early stage SRC.
Signet ring cell carcinoma of the stomach: a clinicopathological comparison with the other histological types.
TLDR

Signet ring cell carcinoma of the stomach
TLDR
In patients with signet ring cell gastric cancer, the lesion is less extensive; thus, these patients probably can expect a longer survival time.

TLDR
The gradual transition of Type A cells to Type B and the subsequent change of Type B to Type C suggest successive stages in maturation.

TLDR
Though SRC and mucinous adenocarcinoma were both characterized by abundant mucus-secretion, they were quite different in morphology, ultrastructure, cell-functional differentiation and protein expression, indicating different mechanisms of carcinogenesis.

Gastric carcinoma: A pathobiological classification
TLDR
This classification provided a simple basis for evaluation of various aspects of gastric cancer and indicated that intestinal metaplasia probably played a role in the development of expanding, but not infiltrative, carcinoma.
Signet ring cell histology is associated with unique clinical features but does not affect gastric cancer survival.
TLDR
Signet ring cell histology did not impact survival in the authors' group of largely advanced gastric cancer cases and was more likely to be young women and to have tumors of the distal stomach.
