Histopathology staining from the biopsy of the patient's stomach through gastroscopy. a Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining with poorly cohesive carcinoma, characterized by signet ring cells.

Positive staining is shown in brown. Representative images of E-cadherin staining demonstrated lower expression of E-cadherin
