Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. In Turkey, stomach cancer is ranked 5th among men and 8th among women in all cancers and is located in the forefront in cancer-related deaths. Signet ring cell adenocarcinoma, which is the histopathological subtype of gastric cancer, has a poor prognosis. The incidence of signet ring cell adenocarcinoma is rising. In the present study, we aimed to describe the clinicopathologic features of signet ring cell adenocarcinoma.
