α-Foetoprotein–producing Primary Rectal Adenocarcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report is of a 44-year-old woman with an α -foetoprotein–producing rectal adenocarcinoma. At presentation, her serum α-foetoprotein was 158,334 μg/L, and investigation excluded other causes, such as gynaecological malignancy, hepatocellular carcinoma, germ cell tumour, or hepatoid adenocarcinoma. The patient developed early distant metastasis despite treatment with 5-fluorouracil-based chemoradiotherapy. Further chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin plus bevacizumab resulted in radiologically stable primary tumour and liver metastases 12 months after treatment.

Comparison of non-Gaussian and Gaussian diffusion models of diffusion weighted imaging of rectal cancer at 3.0 T MRI
Water molecular diffusion in vivo tissue is much more complicated. We aimed to compare non-Gaussian diffusion models of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) including intra-voxel incoherent motion (IVIM), stretched-exponential model (SEM) and Gaussian diffusion model at 3.0 T MRI in patients with rectal cancer, and to determine the optimal model for investigating the water diffusion properties and ...
متن کاملOrbital Metastasis from Rectal Adenocarcinoma- Report of a Rare Case
Colorectal carcinoma is a common malignancy in India as well as in world. Inspite of its high metastasizing ability to various organs and lymph node, orbital metastasis is exceptional. Very few cases have been reported in the world literature. We report orbital metastasis in a case of moderately differentiated rectal adenocarcinoma in a 58-year male patient from India in 2015. We want to focus ...

متن کاملA rare case of primary rectal adenocarcinoma metastatic to the breast.
Primary rectal adenocarcinoma metastatic to the breast is an exceedingly rare event. Its management differs from that of primary breast cancer, as illustrated by this case. A 63-year-old woman presented with a breast lump 30 months after abdominoperineal resection for rectal adenocarcinoma, stage T₃N₁M₀ (stage III), followed by standard postoperative radiochemotherapy. The patient underwent a m...
