The genetic mechanisms of carcinomas of the small intestine are not well understood. We report the results of analysis of genetic alterations in a case of small intestinal carcinoma. A tumor in the terminal ileum was resected in a 59-yr-old woman. Histologically, the tumor was classified as well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. We screened for genetic alterations in adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), β-catenin, K-ras, and p53 genes, as well as microsatellite instability, which are known to be involved in colorectal tumorigenesis. The tumor exhibited somatic interstitial deletion of 425-bp, which included the entire exon 3 in β-catenin gene. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed accumulation of aberrant β-catenin protein in the cytoplasm and nuclei of the malignant tissue. Furthermore, a frameshift mutation in the transforming growth factor β receptor type II gene with replication error phenotype was detected in the tumor DNA. In contrast, no genetic alterations were found in the APC, K-ras, and p53 genes. Our results suggested that both β-catenin gene mutation and replication error phenotype might contribute to carcinogenesis of the small intestinal tumor in our case. This is the first report that activation of β-catenin gene by somatic gene mutation is involved in the development of carcinoma of the small intestine.
