Primary gastric lymphoma accounts for less than 5 percent of all gastric cancers.1,2 The incidence and pathophysiology of gastric lymphomas differ clinically from the more common adenocarcinomas of the stomach. Unlike adenocarcinoma, primary gastric lymphoma generally responds to current treatment modalities, which include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Gastric lymphoma presents in th...

Thromboembolic complications as well as laboratory abnormalities in hemostatic parameters are frequently observed in cancer patients. Tissue factor (TF) has been documented to play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis and, among other coagulation proteins, in tumor growth and metastatic spread. The principal inhibitor of TF-dependent pathway of blood coagulation is tissue factor ...

spindle cell neoplasms are defined as neoplasms that consist of spindle-shaped cells in the histopathology. spindle cell neoplasms can affect the oral cavity. in the oral cavity, the origin of the spindle cell neoplasms may be traced to epithelial, mesenchymal and odontogenic components. this article aims to review the spindle cell neoplasms of the oral cavity with emphasis on histopathology.  ...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES This study compared the accuracy of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal tumors in patients with several degrees of clinical suspicion. MATERIAL AND METHODS We recruited patients that were suspect for gastrointestinal neoplasia but with no evidence of localizing symptoms (group A), and patients that were suspect for colon cancer (group B) or for gas...

Abstract Background Primary gastric lymphomas are rare tumours and account for 5% of all neoplasms. Esophaphageal even rarer, accounting 1% oesophageal tumours. Incidence these have been increasing over time there is need to understand this tumour subtype. This a single centre study esophagogastric period 15 years. Methods Between 2005 2020; patients who were diagnosed having lymphomas, retrosp...

Amphicrine carcinoma is rarely reported in literature. It characterised by dual positivity of neuroendocrine markers and mucin stain the same cells depicting divergent differentiation. Recently published WorldHealth Organisation (WHO) classification neoplasm 2022 differentiates it from adenocarcinoma mixed neuroendocrine-nonneuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNEN) shows varied histomorphology on rare o...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) in a Taiwanese population undergoing bidirectional endoscopies. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects voluntarily undergoing upper endoscopy/colonoscopy as part of a medical examination at the National Taiwan University Hospital were recruited during 2009. Diagnosis of DM includ...

Helicobacter pylori infection, thought to be causally related to chronic gastritis, may also be associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer. To determine whether an association with gastric cancer does exist, we retrospectively evaluated serum samples from 69 patients with histologically confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma (32 with cancer at the cardia and 37 with cancer at other sites) an...

Schwannomas, also known as neurinomas or neurilemmomas, are generally benign, slow-growing neoplasms originating in any nerve that has a Schwann cell sheath. These neoplasms are rare among the spindle cell mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, but develop most commonly in the stomach representing 0.2% of all gastric tumors. We present the case of a 57-year-old female patient with a ...
