adenosquamous carcinomas of stomach are rare entities comprising 0.5% of stomach carcinomas. here, we report a case of a 50-year-old female, who presented with weakness, pallor, and symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction. a partial gastrectomy was done and histology showed evidence of adenosquamous carcinoma of the antrum with metastasis to the perigastric lymph nodes. the patient condition imp...

malignant tumors of pancreas are usually primary neoplasms and pancreatic metastases are rare findings. we are reporting a case of squamous cell carcinoma (scc) of the esophagus with pancreatic metastasis. a 59-year old woman was admitted with chief complaint of abdominal pain and mass. she was a known case of esophageal scc since 4 years before when she had undergone transthoracic esophagectom...

adenoid cystic carcinoma (adcc) is a malignant neoplasm, which accounts for 5-10% of all salivary gland tumors (1). about 50% of these tumors originate from intraoral minor salivary glands usually in the hard palate (1). three clinically obvious characteristics of adcc include slow growth rate, perineural invasion and high incidence of distant metastasis (1). the most commonly-affected sites of...

background: sentinel  lymph  node  biopsy  has  shown  to  be  a  good  alternative procedure  for  axillary  lymph  node  dissection  and  to lead  to  lower  frequency  of morbidity, though this technique has its own side effects. it needs especial equipment and may not be available in some medical centers, especially in developing countries. this study aimed to identify a subgroup of patient...

results: among 11 patients who underwent surgery consisted of eight males and three females. their metastasis originated from testis tumors (n = 5), renal cell carcinoma (rcc; n = 4), bladder tumor (n = 1), and prostate cancer (n = 1). their mean age was 41.27 years (range, 21-67). the mean age of the patients with rcc and testis tumor at the time of diagnosing metastasis was 54 and 24.8 years,...

background: lung cancer ranks among the most common and most lethal malignancies worldwide. once vascular or lymphatic invasions occur, metastatic dissemination to distant sites is common. bone, liver, adrenals, and brain are the most frequent sites of the distant disease. in this study we present a case of squamous cell carcinoma of lung with metastasis of the left knee bursa.case presentation...

Paediatric bilateral multiple trigger fingers are extremely rare. The underlying etiopathogenesis and hence the surgical principles of management of trigger finger in children are different from those of pediatric trigger thumb and adult trigger finger. In this paper, we report the case of a 5 year old girl with congenital trigger digits involving the middle, ring and little fingers of both han...

abstract gastric cancer is one of the most common and most fatal neoplasms in human. its skeletal metastasis is less frequent, particularly when solitary. the objective of this article is to represent a case of solitary fibular metastasis from this cancer not reported before based on medline search.

pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pnet) are uncommon pancreatic neoplasms, accounting for 1-2% of all pancreatic tumors. however, they have a better prognosis and long-term survival compared to exocrine pancreatic cancer. pnets can be divided into functional or non-functional based upon whether or not they excrete active substances relevant to specific clinical syndromes. skeletal muscle metast...
