Double primary cancers: intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with myocardial metastases and lung squamous cell carcinoma.

چکیده
We herein present a rare case of myocardial metastases from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The patient was a 68-year-old man diagnosed with stage IVb intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Growing low-density nodules at the cardiac interventricular septum and the left lateral wall were found on contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT). He died and an autopsy was performed. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma was found to have metastasized to the myocardium, and these myocardial metastases conformed to the low-density nodules detected on CECT. A hilar nodule in the lung was revealed to be lung squamous cell carcinoma. This was a rare case of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with myocardial metastases and lung squamous cell carcinoma.

متن کاملSeven-Year Survival of a Patient with Primary Tracheal Squamous Cell Carcinoma after Surgery: A Case Report
The primary tracheal cancers are very rare, and squamous cell carcinoma is its most common form, especially in smokers. Due to the late presentation of symptoms, these tumors are usually diagnosed too late, and thus, they have poor survival. The gold standard protocol for these cancers is surgical excision and adjuvant radiotherapy. Primary radiotherapy is applied for the advanced and inoperabl...

Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare histologic subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The incidence ranges from 0.1% to 4.7% of all lung malignancies. However, Synchronous Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) with primary pulmonary sarcomatiod carcinoma are much rarer double-cancer. Such a case has not previously been reported till now according to the literature. The coinc...
