Background: Solid tumors may occur in 3% of the patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). In this paper, we presented a case of CML following treatment of colon cancer. Case Presentation: A 25 year old man was diagnosed of adenocarcinoma of rectosigmoid treated with fluorouracil-based chemotherapy. Following relapse, he received florouracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan during the next year. ...

We report a 60-year-old woman with intramucosal adenocarcinoma arising in the interposed colon, 40 years after the esophageal reconstruction for lye induced esophageal stricture. Although synchronous adenomas were also found in the native colon where the graft was taken, the number of adenomas was greater in the interposed colon and more dysplastic, even progressed to adenocarcinoma, than that ...

Gastrointestinal schwannomas are uncommon stromal tumors of the intestinal tract and colon schwannomas are extremely rare. We report a rare case of ascending colon schwannoma with associated synchronous adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon. A 68-year-old man presented with a 20-day history of bleeding per rectum. Colonoscopy revealed a mass of 4.2 cm in diameter with endoluminal protrusion in th...

Background & Objective The role of synchronized expression pattern of cytokeratin (CK) 7 and CK20 in the prognosis of colon adenocarcinoma is unclear. The current study aimed at determining the relationship between the expression of cytokeratins 7 and 20 and prognostic factors in colon adenocarcinoma. Methods In the current cross sectional Study, 52 archival samples of colon adenocarcinoma wi...

Here we reported one rare case of colon composited B cell lymphoma associated with adenocarcinoma. The composited B cell lymphoma composed of extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) and large B-cell lymphoma. Additionally, adjacent intestinal mesenteric lymph modes were involved. And interestingly, schistosome infection was also found in lym...

background: during the past few years, hesa-a, a herbal-marine mixture, has been used to treat cancer as an alternative medicine in iran. however, weight of the evidence is not sufficient to accept or refuse the use of this compound as a cytotoxic drug. we investigated the selective anticancer effects of hesa-a on breast, prostate, colon, and glioblastoma multiforme (gbm) neoplastic cell lines....

Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world. Despite this, there have been few cases of simultaneous primary and metastatic cancers in the lung reported, let alone coexisting with tumor-to-tumor metastasis. Herein, we describe an extremely unusual case. A 61-year-old man with a history of colon adenocarcinoma was revealed as having three nodules in the lung 11 months after colectomy. The...

Splenic metastasis from colorectal cancers is a very rare occurrence. Few cases have been reported in the literature. We report herein an additionnal case of metachronous splenic metastasis from adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon, 3 years after the diagnosis of the primary tumor. A 62-year old woman presented for regular follow-up after colectomy for sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma. A computed to...

Non-motile cilia are thought to be important determinants of the progression of many types of cancers. Our goal was to identify patterns of cilia gene dysregulation in eight cancer types (glioblastoma multiforme, colon adenocarcinoma, breast adenocarcinoma, kidney renal clear cell carcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, rectal adenocarcinoma, and ovarian cancer) profiled b...

Metastasis of colon adenocarcinoma is commonly found in the lung, liver, or peritoneum. Common bile duct (CBD) tumors related to adenomas from familial adenomatous polyposis metastasizing from outside of the gastrointestinal tract have been reported. We report a case of biliary colic due to metastatic colon adenocarcinoma to the CBD. Obstructive jaundice with signs of acalculous cholecystitis o...
