A 20 year young man was referred to our institution with superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome, multiple lung opacities and a mass lesion in the right upper zone (RUZ). CT-guided FNAC from the mass lesion was consistent with the diagnosis of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). A lump in his left testis was detected during clinical examination. Both FNAC and excisional biopsy of the testicular ma...

BACKGROUND A study was conducted to investigate the clinicopathological features and survival outcomes of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) that are synchronous with other gastrointestinal cancers. METHODS Clinical and pathological data of 286 patients with primary GIST from a single institution from January 2009 to December 2014 were reviewed. RESULTS The entire study population comp...

Introduction Presence of two primary malignancies is rare and occurs in 3-5% of the cancer patients. As per our extensive internet research, this is the only reported case of a synchronous sino-nasal embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma with squamous cell carcinoma-tongue. The case report is important because of the rare diagnosis and the challenge we faced in the diagnosis and treatment of the pat...

Malignancies accompanying multiple myeloma (MM) can be observed at diagnosis or during the course of disease. Several trials have investigated type, frequency, and effects these malignancies on overall survival MM patients. Here, we aimed to investigate frequency types previous/synchronous second primary malignancies, median duration develop a malignancy course, effect in our Three hundred ten ...

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract are not uncommon urological malignancies. Their simultaneous occurrence in a patient is, however, extraordinarily rare. We report the case of a patient who underwent unilateral nephrectomy for suspected RCC and diagnosed transitional cell carcinoma of the superior pelvis. Preoperative imaging was suspicious for renal...

Malignancies of rectum and kidneys are common pathologies in clinical practice; however, the incidence of these malignancies coexisting together is unclear. The main purpose of this article was to show the usefulness of computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing these rare synchronous tumors. We report a case of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the rectum in a 57-year-old male patient who came for stagi...

Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) has been shown to detect unexpected synchronous malignancies in up to 4.8% of patients and has been shown to be more sensitive than conventional staging alone. Detection of an unsuspected synchronous malignancy on PET-CT will often affect both patient treatment and prognosis. This article reviews expected patterns of disease spread so th...
