Signet ring cell carcinoma and mucinous carcinoma are distinct subtypes of colorectal adenocarcinoma. The morphologic and molecular spectra of colorectal carcinomas with various signet ring cell components and colorectal carcinomas with various mucinous components, compared to non-mucinous adenocarcinomas, have not been examined. The study groups consisted of 39 carcinomas with various signet ring cell components ('the signet group'), 167 carcinomas with various mucinous components ('the mucinous group'), and 457 nonmucinous adenocarcinoma. We visually estimated the amounts of signet ring cell and mucinous components in tumors, and subclassified the signet and mucinous groups according to the amount of each component (= 50%). We sequenced BRAF and KRAS, analyzed for microsatellite instability (MSI) and 18q loss of heterozygosity (LOH), and performed immunohistochemistry for TP53, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), MLH1, O-6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), p16 (CDKN2A), and fatty acid synthase (FASN). Signet ring cell carcinoma (>= 50% signet ring cell tumors) and = 50% mucinous tumors and
