S ince 1970, cancer of the uterine cervix has accounted for 10% of all new cases of malignant neoplasms occurring among women in Cuba. Although the age-adjusted incidence rates in women 30-74 years of age have decreased from 41.3 per 100 000 women in 1970 to 37.8 per 100 000 in 1990, mortality from this cancer has not changed significantly over the past 10 years (I). This situation exists in sp...

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma occurring in the reproductive organs is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma, and this tumor of the uterine cervix accounts for 0.7% of all primary cervical uterine neoplasms. Associations with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human papilloma virus (HPV) have been demonstrated in some studies. Some investigators suggested that EBV has an important role in the i...

INTRODUCTION Breast lymphoma accounts for less than 1% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and approximately 0.1% of all breast neoplasms. Most breast lymphomas are classified as diffuse large B-cell lymphomas or as mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas. Concurrent cases of breast lymphoma and cervical cancer are extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 46-year-old woman of un...

BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are CD117 (C Kit) positive mesenchymal neoplasms, that may arise anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract. Their current therapy is imatinib mesylate before or after surgery. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a case of 17-year-old female with metastasis to the cervix uteri of a primary mesenteric gastrointestinal tumor. CONCLUSION Surgery remains the mai...

Uterine cervix carcinoids are distinct neuroendocrine cervical tumors, representing a comparatively small percentage of them. These well-differentiated neoplasms are far less prevalent than small- and large-cell carcinomas, characterized by a more favorable biological course. We report a case of a 43-year-old woman with a nonmetastatic cervical carcinoid, managed with radical hysterectomy. She ...

Metastatic Cancer of Unknown Primary Site (CUP) accounts for approximately 3-5% of all malignant neoplasms. CUP represents a heterogeneous group of metastatic tumors for which no primary site can be detected following a thorough medical history, careful clinical examination, and extensive diagnostic work-up. Several authors have reported poor prognosis of this malignancy, because there is no co...

The collision tumor is defined by Meyer as that arisen from the accidental meeting and eventual intermingling of two independent neoplasms, which is quite rare. Most of them occur in the junction of different epithelial types of tissue such as oral cavity, esophagogastric junction, anorectaljunction and cervix, while collision tumors occurring in the liver, gallbladder, pancreatic, urinary blad...

The characteristic distribution of uterine cancer in man with a high incidence in the cervix and a low frequency in the fundus does not obtain in the rabbit. Carcinoma of the uterine fundus is by far the most common of all neoplasms in the rabbit (1) whereas cervical cancer has not been observed in our laboratory nor has its occurrence been reported in the literature. The absence of a squamocol...

Malignant mixed Mullerian tumour is a rare gynaecological tumour commonly presenting with vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain or mass in the uterine cavity, cervix or vagina. The neoplasms are commonly seen in postmenopausal women although it has been observed in younger women. Ovaries and the corpus of the uterus are commonly involved, whereas involvement of the cervix and vagina is rare. A 37 ye...

Introduction: Pregnancy-associated cancers are malignant neoplasms (MNs) diagnosed during pregnancy or within 12 months after delivery. The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of pregnancy-associated at population level. Materials and methods: database was created from databases two regional systems: automated system Pregnancy Monitoring Program ONCOR system. Results: Overall, 357 female pat...
