Multiple primary cancers are defined as multiple occurrences of malignant neoplasm of different histologic origin in the same individual. The synchronous occurrence of triple distinct cancers in the same patient is very rare. Herein, we report an extremely rare case of synchronous triple primary cancers of the rectum, thyroid gland and uterine cervix; all were detected during the work-up for he...

Goblet cell carcinoid of the large intestine is a rare neoplasm, usually located in ascending colon and rectum. A 60-year-old male patient underwent surgery after the diagnosis of acute abdomen. Exploratory laparotomy revealed perforation with a diameter of 1 cm at the site of the previously performed gastroenterostomy and dilatation of the right colic flexure, secondary to a solid obstructive ...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to examine possible effects of implementing a national query program on site-specific cancer mortality rates. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 2,874 query letters were sent out by the Department of Statistics, Ministry of Health and Welfare of Taiwan between January 2009 and December 2011 to medical certifiers who reported "neoplasm with uncertain nature" on the de...

stromal tumor that develops from gastro-intestinal (GI) mesenchymal cells from the esophagus to the rectum. Before 1990, most investigators thought these mesencgymal cell tumor to be the neoplasm from smooth muscle of gastrointestinal tract, and considered that these tumors were one kind of leiomyoma, leomyosarcoma or leiomyoblastoma. With the advent of immuno-chemical staining and ultra-struct...

Uterine fibroids are the most common uterine neoplasm of uterus and the female pelvis and the most common indication for hysterectomy worldwide. When the fibroid is large and fills the whole pelvis or is pedunculated, it becomes difficult to differentiate from ovarian mass clinically. Cervical fibroids pose enormous surgical difficulty by virtue of their relative inaccessibility and proximity t...

Visualisation of the rectum, rectoanal junction and adjacent structures is very demanding and challenging both with technical and medical side. Local staging of rectal and anal tumor and perianal neoplasm by conventional and sibgle slice CT or by barium enema study is not so valuable. These methods can not visualise fistulous communication in inflamatory bowel diseases and have not any role in ...

Aim: Sessile serrated lesions (SSL) have the potential for malignant transformation into colorectal carcinoma (CRC), which develops via pathway of carcinogenesis. Material and Methods: Based on colonoscopy pathology reports, all sessile or polyps in risk screening group were studied at an urban medical research center between July 2018 2022. We prospectively included consecutive classified as a...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Early colorectal (CR) neoplasm can be cured by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), but clinical experience and factors associated with complications from ESD for CR neoplasms in China have not been reported. METHODS Seventy-eight cases of early CR neoplasm treated with endoscopic resection performed between December 2012 and December 2013 at Beijing Military General Hospit...

A gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a rare malignancy, accounting for only 0.1% to 3% of all (GI) malignancies. Although GISTs are the most common mesenchymal GI tract, they primarily found within stomach, with rectal rarely reported. They may present bleeding, constipation, pain, or palpable mass while some incidentally. The incidence has been on rise, possibly due advancements in diagn...
