BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal cancers, previously considered rare, are rapidly increasing worldwide. We present here a unique case of gastroesophageal carcinoma with metastasis to the rectum. CASE REPORT A 60-year-old female patient presented with constipation, bloating, and weight loss of 4-month duration. She had undergone sleeve gastrectomy 6 years before. Endoscopies performed revealed a fria...

It is estimated that 10% to 30% of patients with solid tumors are diagnosed with central nervous system (CNS) metastasis. Common primary sites include lung, breast, melanoma, kidney, and colorectal. Brain metastases are increasing, due to the aging population, detection of subclinical disease, and control of systemic disease. CNS metastases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality affecting...

Metastasis, commonly to the lung, is the major cause of mortality from testicular cancer. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of a novel nutrient mixture (NM) containing ascorbic acid, amino acids and green tea extract on the inhibition of melanoma growth and metastasis using a model of intratesticular inoculation of B16FO cells into nude mice. Male athymic mice (n=12), 10-12...

Epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML) of the kidney is an uncommon neoplasm with malignant potential. It can occur sporadically or be associated tuberous sclerosis. EAML a monotypic variant (AML), which classified as perivascular epithelioid cell tumor. Due to its nature and paucity fat components, unlike classic AML, has abundant adipose tissue characteristic features on CT scans, it difficult dis...

We present an example here of pathologically documented and coexistent double malignant tumours of the colon and kidney. In the case reported, an adenocarcinoma of the caecum-colon was detect first whilst the renal tumour was discovered by chance during staging prior to surgery. Both tumours were asymptomatic and the characteristics of the renal mass (suggestive for primary tumour) excluded the...

BACKGROUND Carcinoid is an endocrine cell tumor with low-grade atypia, which is generally a low-grade malignant cancer with a good prognosis. Metastatic renal carcinoid is even rarer than primary carcinoids. CASE PRESENTATION We present our experience of a patient with metastatic renal carcinoid from the gastrointestinal tract. CONCLUSIONS The carcinoid tumor of the kidney in our patient, w...

Solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is a rare pancreatic tumor with low malignant potential. It occurs characteristically more often in young women. SPT associated with extra- and pancreatic anomalies are occasionally reported. Here we report a case of pancreatic SPT with concomitant urogenital malformations including solitary kidney and uterus didelphys in a 25-year-old woman. Th...
