We report a 49-year old male with diagnosis of gastric schwannoma who underwent subtotal gastrectomy. We describe clinicopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of these tumors and performed an extensive literature review. Gastric schwannomas are very rare tumors but they should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of more common mesenchimal neoplasms like gastrointe...

The Authors present six cases of ovarian neoplasm with histological characteristics of typical Krukenberg tumor. Usually, Krukenberg Tumor is bilateral and often secondary to gastrointestinal carcinomas. Secondary ovarian neoplasms often become evident a short time after the diagnosis of primary tumor. Moreover, the post ovulatory rearrangement of the ovarian surface could favour the metastatic...

Carcinoid tumours occur predominantly in the gastrointestinal tract and bronchial system of the lungs, but they can originate in less common anatomical sites such as the testes, which accounts for <1% of all testicular neoplasms. Carcinoid tumour is a rare and indolent neoplasm with the potential for distant metastasis. We report on a man with metastatic right testicular carcinoid tumour who ha...

Background: The incidence of pancreatic neoplasms in infants and children is 1.8 cases per 1000000. Three children’s most common primary are pancreatoblastoma, solid pseudopapillary neoplasm the pancreas, endocrine neoplasms. Solid pancreas a low-grade malignant tumor. presented with palpable mass (60%), followed by abdominal pain (33.3%). Although duodenal invasion frequently occurs patients c...

Note The vast majority of both benign and malignant tumours of the stomach are of epithelial origin, with mesenchymal and neuroendocrine tumours being much less common. Gastric adenocarcinoma comprises in excess of 95% of malignant neoplasms of the stomach, and is thus the focus of this overview. Primary gastric lymphoma is the second commonest malignancy affecting the stomach with gastrointest...

Sarcomas are defined as malignant neoplasms derived from mesenchymal tissues. A variety of different molecular approaches, including gene expression profiling, have identified candidate biomarkers and insights into sarcoma biology that will aid in the diagnosis and treatment of these tumors. Many gene expression profiling findings have been translated into immunohistochemical tests for diagnost...

Gene therapy consists of the transfer of genetic material to cells to achieve a therapeutic goal. In the field of gastroenterology and hepatology gene therapy has produced considerable expectation as a potential tool in the management of conditions that lack effective therapy including non-resectable neoplasms of the liver, pancreas and gastrointestinal tract, chronic viral hepatitis unresponsi...

Schwannomas are a kind of neurogenic tumor. They are generally benign and originate primarily from the central and peripheral nerve. They rarely develop in the gastrointestinal tract: gastric schwannomas make up 0.2% of gastric neoplasms. A malignant gastric schwannoma is a comparatively rare tumor, a few cases have been reported until now. We present the case of a 34-year-old male patient diag...
