Popis: Background: We evaluated the immunoexpression of LGR4 and β-catenin in primary gastric carcinomas, lymph node metastases and histologically normal gastric mucosa in the surgical margins of gastric primary tumours. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional, observational study, based on 75 gastric carcinoma specimens from gastrectomies conducted at the hospital of the Federal University of Ceara, Brazil. The samples were analysed by tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry. Chi-square, Fisher’s exact test and Pearson’s linear regression were used in this study. Results: LGR4 expression was greater in the histologically normal gastric mucosa (basal third of the epithelial thickness) of the tumour surgical resection margin than in the cases of primary carcinomas (P
