A case of double cancer (pancreatic and ovarian adenocarcinomas) in a woman suggested by exfoliative and fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is reported. Exfoliative cytology, including immunohistochemical findings of the biliary juice and those of clinical image examinations indicated tubular adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic body. FNA cytologic findings with immunohistochemical observation a...

Pericardial constriction secondary to metastatic adenocarcinoma is exceedingly rare. We present the first recorded case of pericardial constriction secondary to metastatic signet-ring mucinous adenocarcinoma diagnosed by echocardiography. The cornerstones of echocardiographic diagnosis of constriction are the following: interventricular septal bounce phasic with respiration, M-mode recordings o...

Primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the eyelid is a very rare tumor arising from the eccrine sweat gland. It is locally invasive with a high rate of recurrence following removal. Although uncommon, metastasis to regional lymph nodes does occur, and there have been several reports of more distant metastasis. This tumor is characterized by the secretion of mucin. This mucin usually forms into pool...

Primary signet ring cell carcinoma of the cervix is extremely rare. A 47-year-old woman visited for postcoital vaginal bleeding during the last six months. Gynecologic examination revealed mild cervical erosion and touch bleeding. Colposcopic punch biopsy revealed a signet ring cell type of mucinous adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent radical hysterectomy with bilateral salpingooophorectomy, ...

Mucinous noncystic (colloid) carcinoma (MNCC) of the pancreas is considered an uncommon variant of ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas with specific histopathological and molecular features. We report the CT findings of large area of hypoattenuation and intratumoral calcification in a pathologically proven case of mucinous non-cystic carcinoma of the pancreas. MNCC of the pancreas is a distin...

Calcification of gastric carcinoma is unusual and most of the reported cases were of the mucinous type. This report describes two cases of papillo-tubular adenocarcinoma of the stomach with psammomatous calcification confined only to the papillary portion. Calcification was so heavy that specimen X-ray was able to clearly delineate its distribution. Microscopically, the calcification was confin...

We report a case of a 48-year-old female patient, who presented with abdominal pain, jaundice, and lack of appetite. Ultrasound showed intrahepatic biliary dilatation with retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. Further magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography detected Klatskin tumor. Computed tomography (CT) confirmed the Klatskin tumor with liver metastases and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. Bi...

BACKGROUND This study reports the pathogenesis of anal canal adenocarcinoma in a patient with longstanding Crohn's disease (CD). CASE REPORT A 50-year-old woman with a 33-year history of CD presented with perianal pain of several months' duration. She had been treated surgically for a rectovaginal fistula 26 years earlier and had been treated with infliximab (IFX) for the previous 4 years. A bi...

BACKGROUND Primary appendiceal adenocarcinoma is a rare tumor, mucinous variety being common. This case is reported to highlight the unusual presentation and diagnostic difficulty of appendiceal adenocarcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION Patient presented with acute appendicitis with ill-defined tender lump which responded to conservative management. CONCLUSIONS High index of suspicion should be kep...

Primary appendiceal adenocarcinomas are extremely rare entities. Preoperative diagnosis is very difficult and is mainly based on computed tomography (CT) scan findings. Furthermore, in many cases, difficulties in establishing an accurate intraoperative diagnosis have resulted in a two-stage surgical intervention. We herein report a case of a primary appendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma in a 67-y...
