Background & Objective: Gastric cancer is the second most frequent cause of cancer death worldwide, despite differences in incidence around the world. The majority of gastric cancer cases concern gastric adenocarcinoma, which has a fairly high 5-year survival rate when coupled with early-stage diagnosis. Versican, a member of the aggregating chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans fa...

Although it can affect any part of the gastrointestinal system, signet ring cell carcinoma (SRC) is a common malignant entity stomach cancers. We discuss case patient who had prior history gastric adenocarcinoma with cells, for which he underwent partial gastrectomy gastro-jejunal anastomosis. Four months after surgery, presented an acute postoperative blockage. Operative findings and pathology...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms in the gastrointestinal tract. The metachronous existence of GIST and gastric adenocarcinoma, though are tumours of distinct histotype, and very rare, have been reported in medical case reports in recent years. We report a case of a 74 year old man who initially presented with moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the ...

Note The vast majority of both benign and malignant tumours of the stomach are of epithelial origin, with mesenchymal and neuroendocrine tumours being much less common. Gastric adenocarcinoma comprises in excess of 95% of malignant neoplasms of the stomach, and is thus the focus of this overview. Primary gastric lymphoma is the second commonest malignancy affecting the stomach with gastrointest...

Out of all the different types of neoplasms affecting the stomach, gastric carcinomas with Osteoclast-like Giant Cells (OGC) is one of the most uncommon. Although OGC are typically found in osseous neoplasms and tumors of the tendon sheath, few cases of extra-skeletal neoplasms with OGC have been documented. These typically involve organs such as the pancreas, gall-bladder, kidney, and breast. ...

The coexistence of gastrointestinal tumors (GIST’s) with other several primary malignant neoplasms has been demonstrated. However, there is no study that reported simultaneous occurrence small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) and a GIST located in the stomach. Here, we report first case SBA synchronous gastric GIST. Surgical resection clinicopathological characterization were performed for masses ide...

Adenocarcinoma is the most common histological type of gastric tumour, accounting for approximately 95% of all gastric carcinomas. Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms of the digestive tract. Synchronous adenocarcinoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) occurring in the stomach is rare and very few cases have been reported in literature. Synchronous tu...

BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and adenocarcinoma are distinct neoplasms originating from different cell layers. Approximately 20% of patients with GIST develop other cancers. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of the coexistence of adenocarcinoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Gastric endoscopy showed the ulcerated tumor with bleeding along the lesser curvatur...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract (1%), and stomach is the most common location involved. However, the co-existence of gastric adenocarcinoma and GIST is very rare. A case of an 80-year-old male with a simultaneous presentation of a gastric adenocarcinoma and GIST is presented. Various hypotheses have been proposed in order to e...

cancer starts with a change in one single cell. this change may be initiated by external agents and genetic factors. cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and accounts for 7.6 million deaths (around 13% of all deaths) in 2008. lung, stomach, liver, colon and breast cancer cause the most cancer deaths each year. in this review, different aspects of gastric cancer; including clinical, path...
