Can mucinous adenocarcinoma be identified as histological low grade (well differentiated)?
By its nature, is signet cell adenocarinoma histological high grade (poorly differentiated)?

Re: Mucinous and Signet Cell Adenocarcinoma
Does anyone here have mucinous or signet cell adenocarcinoma and, if so, do you recall the histological grade on your pathology report- low grade, moderate grade, high grade?

Re: Mucinous and Signet Cell Adenocarcinoma
Reading the medical report I received upon discharge from my resection surgery two years ago I see that final diagnosis is:
Invasive mucinous (Colloid) and Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma;
Ulcerated.
High Grade/Poorly Differentiated.
Stage IIIC: pT4a pN2a pMX
Hope this helps.
