Background: Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare biphasic malignancy with an epithelial and mesenchymal component. Given its histological particularity, the diagnosis of this tumor still represents challenge for pathologists surgeons. mandible very aggressive entity. To date, only sporadic cases have been reported in literature. Aim: report case mandibular sarcomatoid treated radical surgery adjuvan...

BACKGROUND High-dose interleukin-2 (HD IL-2) is used in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and has an overall response rate (ORR) of 12-20% and a complete response rate (CR) of 8% in unselected populations with predominantly clear cell type renal cell carcinoma. Nearly 10-15% of patients with renal cell carcinoma exhibit sarcomatoid differentiation, a feature which correlat...

Sarcomatoid carcinoma in the pelvic cavity is very rare. A 58-year-old Japanese man was admitted to our hospital because of lower abdominal fullness. CT and MRI revealed a large mass in the left pelvic cavity. Transurethral bladder endoscopy showed tumor invasion, and large biopsies were obtained from the bladder lesion. Histologically, the tumor was composed of malignant round cells with hyper...

INTRODUCTION Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the urinary bladder is a rare bidirectional malignant neoplasm with epithelial and mesenchymal differentiation. The epithelial component is mainly high-grade urothelial carcinoma, and the mesenchymal component includes rhabdomyosarcoma. However, proper differential diagnosis of adult rhabdomyosarcomatous tumors of the bladder can be a challenge. Moreover, l...

Introduction Lung lesions include a large variety of benign and malignant conditions. Lung carcinoma is the most common carcinoma in the world today, comprising 12.6% of all the cancers and 17.8% of all the [1] cancer deaths. Benign lesions include inflammatory conditions comprising of acute Inflammatory conditions, granulomatous inflammation, specific infections ( Aspergillus, Phycomycetes, Fu...

Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is an uncommon, high-grade tumor. We present 8 cases of sarcomatoid SDC, which has been defined recently as a rare variant of SDC. The 8 patients (5 men, 3 women) had a mean age of 63.6 years. Histologically, all tumors were characterized by a biphasic neoplasm composed of both SDC and sarcomatoid elements. In 3 cases, sarcomatoid components showed osteosarcomatous...

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare tumor of the urinary bladder accounting for less than 0.5% of all primary urinary bladder tumors. Since the patients were presented with large tumor with extended stages, outcome was found to be poor. In order to improve local control, adjuvant local treatment may be practical. We report a rare case with sarcomatoid carcinoma of the urinary bladder diagnosed with...

Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (CHRC) is a neoplasm of the kidney with clinicopathologic peculiarities that seems to be of better prognosis than conventional renal cell carcinoma. Classical and eosinophilic types are the two histological variants recorded. Also, it has been described in association with carcinoma of collecting ducts, conventional renal cell carcinoma and sarcomatoid renal cel...
