introduction laparoscopic surgery is still uncommon for major liver resections. the intrahepatic glissonian approach is a fast and secure way to control the hepatic pedicle. case presentation a patient diagnosed with stenosing sigmoid adenocarcinoma (t3 n1 m+) (n+, positive lymph nodes, m+ positive metastatic desease)with synchronous liver metastases in segments 7 (8 mm), 6-7 (6 cm) and 3 (12 m...

Malakoplakia is a rare granulomatous disease of the genitourinary system. Gastrointestinal tract is the second most common site of involvement. It usually mimics a malignancy but its association with adenocarcinoma has been rarely reported. A 59-year-old male patient with the history of weight loss and rectal bleeding for two months prior to administration was referred ...

Colorectal cancer represents the third most encountered malignancy worldwide and the third cause of death in United States of America. A special subgroup is represented by the patients presenting an association of a colic tumor and intraluminal colo-rectal metastases. In these cases the distal tumor is believed to be rather a distant metastasis originating from the proximal one. Another signifi...

The differential diagnosis of mediastinal masses involves many benign and malignant conditions, such as lymphadenopathies and cystic lesions. Metastatic mediastinal adenopathies are usually due to lung, esophagus, and stomach cancer and, rarely, due to colorectal cancer. Gastrointestinal duplication cysts are uncommon inherited lesions usually diagnosed during childhood and may involve the esop...

BACKGROUND Sigmoid colon cancer metachronous metastases commonly occur in the liver and lungs with sporadic reports also to the spleen, stomach, thyroid gland, abdominal wall and upper urinary tract. This is a rare case of metachronous metastases invading the mesorectum and the abdominal wall. CASE PRESENTATION A 72-year-old female underwent sigmoidectomy for stage I (T2N0 M0) sigmoid colon c...

Although intrabiliary metastasis of carcinoma in the liver is unusual, intraductal and/or intraepithelial spread of cancer cells along intrahepatic bile ducts is now well recognized as hepatic metastasis. However, several clinical and laboratory findings, including images, lead us to differentially diagnose from primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. We report here on a case of colonic adenoc...
