Adenosquamous carcinoma is a rare distinct clinicopathological entity characterized histopathologically by components of both squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma [1]. This type of carcinoma is described in a variety of sites, including lung, pancreas, and uterine cervix, while the head and neck region is a relatively rare origin for this type of tumor [1]. The existence of adenosquamous ...

Lung adenosquamous carcinoma is a particular subtype of non-small cell lung carcinoma that is defined by the coexistence of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma components. The aim of this study was to assess the mutational profile in each component of 16 adenosquamous carcinoma samples from a Caucasian population by a combination of next generation sequencing using the cancer hotspot pan...

Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from 108 cases of invasive carcinoma of the uterine cervix, consisting of 40 cases of adenocarcinoma, 44 cases of adenosquamous carcinoma, and, as a control, 24 cases of squamous cell carcinoma were examined for the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA by in situ hybridization of high sensitivity using tritium-labeled HPV-2, HPV-6, HPV-16, and HPV...

BACKGROUND Among the numerous human papillomavirus (HPV) types, only types 16 and 18 have been formally classified as human carcinogens. To evaluate the associations of 33 HPV types and other risk factors with squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the cervix, we performed a hospital-based, case-control study in the Philippines. METHODS The study included 356 case subjects who had hist...

BACKGROUND The aims of this report were to describe a case of ovarian adenosquamous carcinoma and to systematically review the pertinent literature. METHODS We describe a case in which a 57-year-old woman had stage IC ovarian cancer histologically diagnosed as adenosquamous carcinoma. We also systematically reviewed the literature using the PubMed database. CASE PRESENTATION Preoperative co...

Adenosquamous carcinoma of the head and neck (ASC) is a rare and aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma, a locally aggressive malignancy characterized by the presence of two distinct components: a squamous cell carcinoma and an adenocarcinoma. The purpose of this study was to report an additional rare case of adenosquamous carcinoma affecting the maxilla, with clinical microscopic featur...

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies in the world and is the fourth highest cause of cancer deaths in the United States. According to the 2008 annual report of cancer statistics in Korea, malignant pancreatic cancer has the ninth highest incidence rate with a relative 5-year survival rate of 7.6%. The most common pancreatic histologic subtype is adenocarcinoma, which has a p...

mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the pancreas is rare. here, a 63-year-old woman with left upper abdominal pain and abdominal distension is presented. her mucoepidermoid carcinoma was located at the left upper abdomen, arising from the pancreatic body and tail without invasion of pancreatic capsule. on pathologic examination, the tumor consisted of three types of cells, the majority being poorly dif...

The most common pancreatic cancer is adenocarcinoma. Primary adenosquamous cell carcinoma of the pancreas is very rare and aggressive. A 46-year-old man presented with a 3-month history of dyspepsia and a 7-kg weight loss. The physical examination showed tenderness of the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. There was no jaundice. Amylase and lipase were elevated. CA 19-9 was elevated to 566.7 ...
