Pigmentary glaucoma (PG) is considered as an entity within the spectrum of secondary open angle glaucomas. The condition usually starts in the third or fourth decades of life with disruption of the iris pigment epithelium. The released pigment granules deposit on anterior segment structures such as the corneal endothelium, trabecular meshwork and lens/zonules. This stage is known as primary pig...

Approximately 6-7% of all adnexal masses found during physical examination are actually metastatic ovarian tumors, which often masquerades as the primary ovarian tumor. The circumstances leading to the discovery of these metastatic lesions depends on the site of the primary tumor. The ovaries may be only slightly enlarged or measure 10 cm or more. Ovarian metastases are bilateral in approximate...

Gastric bypass is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in bariatric surgery. A neoplasm within the gastric pouch is a somewhat infrequent complication but with important survival consequences. We present the case of a 51-year-old woman who developed an adenocarcinoma in the bypassed stomach three years after bariatric surgery; the tumour was incidentally discovered after gyn...

Although ovarian metastasis secondary to gastric cancer (Krukenberg tumor) has been extensively described in the literature, gastric metastasis from ovarian carcinoma is rare. The present case report describes a patient with gastric metastasis from ovarian carcinoma. A 51-year-old female with previously treated ovarian carcinoma of stage III according to the International Federation of Gynecolo...

Cancer cells with immunogenic properties having altered protein glycosylation, modified blood group substances have been widely studied. Due to the genetic instability occurring during carcinogenesis glycosyltransferases may suffer from posttranslation sequence modification. The author describes 2 autopsy cases, where in background of unusual metastatic tumor presentation, incompatible antigeni...
