Introduction: Although cervical carcinoma is common, cutaneous metastasis from this tumor is rare. The reported incidence rates of skin metastasis from cervical cancer range from 0.1% to 1.3%. The major histological subtype of cervical carcinoma is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), accounting for 75% of cases. The remainder are classified as adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous cell carcinoma, or are of ...

Note: Tumor staging is separated by TNM classification (International Classification of Diseases, ICD). TNM classifications for carcinomas of the gallbladder, extrahepatic bile ducts and the ampulla of Vater. The histopathological classification of biliary tract carcinoma follows WHO classification: adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, adenoend...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess whether peritoneal cytology has prognostic significance in uterine cervical cancer. METHODS Peritoneal cytology was obtained in 228 patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics [FIGO] stages IB1-IIB) between October 2002 and August 2010. All patients were negative for intraperitoneal dise...

The author reports two cases of adenosquamous carcinoma arising from endometriosis of ovaries. The tumor patients were 38-year-old and 53-year-old women. Both patients underwent hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for ovarian carcinomas. Grossly, both ovarian tumors were located in the left ovaries, and were cystic tumors with mural tumors. Histologically, the cystic areas consiste...

Adenosquamous carcinoma is a less common subtype of non small cell (NSCLC). It’s a relatively rare variety of NSCLC. The clinical presentation is similar to other common variants (Adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma). Resection of the primary tumor with curative intent is the mainstay of treatment in early malignancy. However, since most cases of lung cancer present at later stage of disease,...

A 68-year-old man with recurrent bilateral severe pneumonia and invasive thymic carcinoma was admitted to our hospital. An extended thymo-thymectomy with lymph nodes dissection was performed for an irregular shaped anterior mediastinum mass. The tumor was mainly composed of type C, adenosquamous carcinoma, and found to have a small area of types B2 and B3 thymoma. History and laboratory finding...

Adenosquamous carcinomas of stomach are rare entities comprising 0.5% of stomach carcinomas. Here, we report a case of a 50-year-old female, who presented with weakness, pallor, and symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction. A partial gastrectomy was done and histology showed evidence of adenosquamous carcinoma of the antrum with metastasis to the perigastric lymph nodes. The patient condition imp...

The Fifth edition of the World Health Organization classification digestive system and American Joint Committee on Cancer staging manual contain substantial refinements information for esophageal tumors. epithelial tumors esophagus are classified as benign, dysplasia, malignant groups. Dysplasia is divided into Barrett dysplasia squamous graded either low-grade or high-grade. Malignant often ad...
