The caecum and the ascending colon are the colon segments most frequently affected by tumoral synchronism. Synchronous colorectal carcinoma etiopathogenesis is complex and most likely by malignancy of preexisting adenomas (adenoma-adenocarcinoma sequence). The following tumoral synchronism clinical case's particularity is represented by the simultaneous diagnosis of a flat-type adenocarcinoma o...

Primary cancers of the appendix are rare and are frequently diagnosed after surgery for appendicitis, presumed ovarian primary malignancy, or other indications. Primary appendix cancers are histologically diverse, and classification of these tumors has historically been confusing because of the nonstandardized nomenclature that is used. This review aimed to describe the epidemiology, presentati...

Malignant transformation of a mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is an infrequent, often asymptomatic event. We report the first example of a struma ovarii with a focus of follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (a), mucinous adenocarcinoma (b), and strumal carcinoid tumor (c)-all three arising in one mature cystic teratoma of the ovary. From our reviews, we found limited data to guide mana...

Gastric-type mucinous adenocarcinoma, an uncommon subtype of cervical carcinoma, is characterized by a distinct morphology and immunophenotype. Herein, we report a case of a 71-year-old woman who received neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy after cervical biopsy revealed moderately differentiated invasive endocervical adenocarcinoma. Subsequently, the outside patient underwent radical hys...

Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are rare and their diagnosis and treatment can be difficult. This report details 7 patients who had histologically proven serous cystadenoma, mucinous cystadenoma and cystadeno carcinoma. Computed tomography and sonography allowed excellent preoperative assessment but to attempt a distinction between the histological variants may be hazardous. Two tumours were o...

BACKGROUND Adenocarcinoma in cervical cancer has poorer response rate to treatment and requires longer time to achieve complete remission than squamous cell carcinoma [1]. Lower response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy is observed [2,3,4,5] and the optimal management remains undefined [1,4,6,7]. CASE We report a case of a 58-year-old woman with bulky mucinous adenocarcinoma endocervical-type...

Primary ovarian large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a rare tumor with a very poor prognosis and is included in the miscellaneous group category of the World Health Organization tumor classification. Most of these tumors are associated with other epithelial neoplasm. To the best of our knowledge, 30 cases have been reported in the English literature. LCNEC associated with a pure mucin...

CT: computed tomography EUS: endoscopic ultrasound scan IPMN: intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm MRCP: magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography MPD: main pancreatic duct INTRODUCTION Pancreatic panniculitis is a rare skin manifestation of pancreatic disease. It is believed to result from seepage of pancreatic enzymes into the systemic circulation, which leads to skin and occasionally jo...
