INTRODUCTION Synchronous gastric and colorectal cancer is present in 4% of cases, commonly as additional finding. This is the case of invasive, synchronous gastric and sigmoid colon cancer. CASE REPORT A 63-years-old male patient admitted to our institution complaining on pains in epigastrium, vomiting, rapid weight loss and occasional constipation. Using the method of esophagogastroduodenosc...

Appendiceal mucoceles are rare cystic lesions with an incidence of 0.3-0.7% of all appendectomies. They are divided into four subgroups according to their histology. Even though the symptoms may vary - depending on the level of complication - from right lower quadrant pain, signs of intussusception, gastrointestinal bleeding to an acute abdomen with sepsis, most mucoceles are asymptomatic and f...

We herein report a case of synchronous bilateral solid papillary carcinoma of the breast. A 73-year-old female had a mass that was detected in the right breast on mammography. An ultrasound examination revealed one intracystic tumor in the right breast and two tumors in the left breast. A fine-needle aspiration biopsy of these three tumors was performed, which revealed a diagnosis of malignancy...

BACKGROUND The hybrid method 18F-FDG PET/ CT has been proven as a method of choice in oncology for diagnostics, staging, restaging of the tumor and evaluation of the therapeutic effect. The aim of the study was to determine the value of 18F-FDG PET/ CT for detection of synchronous tumors and consequently the influence on the patients management. MATERIAL AND METHODS The examinations were perf...

The diagnosis of multiple primary malignancy (MPM) is not uncommon. Nevertheless synchronous MPM involving urinary bladder and hypopharynx is an extremely unusual event.No such cases have been reported so far in English literature to our review. We report the case of 62-year-old male patient who presented with haematuria and later dysphagia to solids. Whole body 18F-fluro deoxy glucose positron...

paragangliomas in the head and neck are found typically in the region of the carotid body, jugular body, and along the 9th and 10th cranial nerves. they can occur in multicenteric forms, but generally, laryngeal paragangliomas are not found in these patients. only two cases of laryngeal paraganglioma have been reported with a synchronous lesion elsewhere. we report an additional case of a 34-ye...

The elevated risk of second primary malignancy (SPM) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is well established. Despite the advances in loco regional control achieved by modern surgery and chemoradiation, survival with HNSCC has not meaningfully improved, in part due to continuing risk of development of SPMs in these patients. Our objective was to determine the prevalen...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence and features of non-endometrial cancers in Thai endometrial cancer (EC) patients. METHODS EC patients treated in our institution were identified and the following data were collected: age, EC stage, histopathology, adjuvant therapy, other cancers, living status, and cause of death. RESULTS The mean age of the 344 patients was 56.8 ± 10.8 years. Fifty (14...

there has been a highly significant increase in the number of patients with malignant mediastinal tumors in the last four decades. since these lesions are infrequently encountered and there are very few reports in iran concerning this issue, we performed this study to review our institutional experience of medias-tinal masses and to compare differences in the clinical spectrum between our study...
