Adenosquamous carcinomas of stomach are rare entities comprising 0.5% of stomach carcinomas. Here, we report a case of a 50-year-old female, who presented with weakness, pallor, and symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction. A partial gastrectomy was done and histology showed evidence of adenosquamous carcinoma of the antrum with metastasis to the perigastric lymph nodes. The patient condition ...

Primary synovial sarcoma of mediastinum is very rare among soft tissue sarcomas. Only a few cases have been reportedin the literatures. The best treatment is still unclear, but, surgical resection is the main therapy. In this article we reporta case of a 20*20 cm (2000gr) primary giant mediastinal synovial sarcoma in a 42 year-old man. We performed radicalexcision of the tumor...

Breast carcinoma with visceral metastasis to the lungs, liver, and bone is common. However, isolated splenic metastases from breast carcinoma are rare. This has been rarely described in the medical literature. This case report presents a 48-year-old woman with newly diagnosed breast cancer and an isolated splenic metastasis diagnosed by ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA). Radiologic...

Skeletal metastasis from primary hepatocellular carcinoma is rare ranging from 03 to 20% and is mostly seen in autopsy cases. Patients presenting with symptoms of bone metastasis are still rarer. Only a few cases of metastasis to bone from hepatocellular carcinoma have been reported as per literature review. Other cancers like breast, prostate, and lung carcinomas show an increased incidence of...

Background: Isolated metastasis to the optic nerve (ON) and its sheath from breast cancer (BC) without involvement of other ocular structures is extremely rare. However, it a pivotal diagnosis rule out as both sight- life-threatening condition. We report case isolated ON BC presenting with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).
 Case presentation: A 47-year-old woman known metastatic prese...

Carcinoid tumours are rare with an incidence of 5.25/100,000. They predominantly originate in the gastrointestinal tract (50-60%) or bronchopulmonary system (25-30%). Common sites of metastasis are lymph nodes, liver, lungs and bone. Spinal metastasis are rare, but has been reported in patients with symptoms of spinal cord compression including neurological deficits. We report a rare case of ca...

mor of patients in the 3rd decade of life. It is a metastatic disease that usually occurs via the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and on rare occasions, via a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VP shunt). Extracranial hematogenous metastasis is, however, very rare and it usually follows multiple surgical interventions (1). We describe here a case of pineal germinoma with extracranial metastasis that occurr...

Extraosseous chondrosarcomas are rare tumours. Primary chondrosarcoma of the lung is very rare, and is considered to be a slow-growing, well-circumscribed tumour, with rare incidence of extra-thoracic metastasis. We report a 60-year-old man who had chondrosarcoma of the lung with two local recurrences, namely: recurrent cutaneous metastases and a skeletal metastasis. Cutaneous metastases were t...

Symptomatic gastric malignancy usually presents with symptoms which mimic peptic ulcer disease.Usual presenting features include weight loss and abdominal pain. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, dysphagia, melena and early satiety. Gastric malignancy presenting with hemetemesis, macular skin lesions of DIC and low backache due to bone metastasis from the primary is rare. Also bone metast...

Cutaneous metastases from gastric adenocarcinoma are extremely rare. When present, metastasis typically signifies disseminated disease with a poor prognosis. We report a case of an 80-year-old male with gastric cancer who presented with a single, erythematous plaque on the left palm, a very rare site for skin metastasis. Results of a skin biopsy demonstrated that the cutaneous metastasis origin...
