1.3.1. Histopathologic types (according to World Health Organization/ International Society of Gynecological Pathology classification) All tumors are to be microscopically verified. The histopathologic types are: • Endometrioid carcinoma: adenocarcinoma; adenoacanthoma (adenocarcinoma with squamous metaplasia); and adenosquamous carcinoma (mixed adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma). • Mu...

nasal sinuses representing about 70% of malignant tumors. Only between 10% and 20% correspond to adenocarcinomas mostly originated in the minor submucous glands. Less frequent tumors originate in the cavity lining epithelium, such as intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITA) and low-grade adenocarcinoma (LGA). The ITA, described by Jarvi in 1945 1 , is also known as mucinous adenocarcinoma, colon ad...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) surveillance of patients with mucinous pancreatic cysts relies on the assessment of morphologic features suggestive of malignant transformation. These criteria were derived from the evaluation of surgical pathology in patients with pancreatic cysts who underwent surgery. Reliability of these criteria when evaluated by EUS in identifying lesi...

PURPOSE The survival of patients with local-regional adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or esophagogastric junction (EGJ) treated with preoperative chemoradiation is much better in patients with pathologic complete response than those with residual tumor. Some adenocarcinomas have mixed patterns, including signet-ring cell and mucinous histology, but the clinical significance of these subtypes is ...

INTRODUCTION Invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma is a unique histologic subtype of lung cancer, and our knowledge of its genetic and clinical characteristics is rapidly evolving. Here, we present next- generation sequencing analysis of nucleotide variant and fusion events along with clinical follow-up in a series of lung mucinous adenocarcinoma. METHODS We collected 72 mucinous adenocarcinomas f...

BACKGROUND The primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the bladder is an extremely rare urologic entity, which is found in less than 2% of all urinary bladder tumours and is often presented as metastatic. CASE PRESENTATION A 69-year old male patient was diagnosed with a primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the bladder after undergoing a transurethral resection of a bladder tumour and complete examin...

The primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the bladder is an extremely rare urologic entity, which is less than 2% of all urinary bladder tumours and often presents in advanced stage. A 68-year old gentleman was diagnosed with a primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the bladder from biopsy of anterior abdominal wall ulcer. Immunohistochemistry was done to rule out metastasis from colon and prostate an...

The caecum and the ascending colon are the colon segments most frequently affected by tumoral synchronism. Synchronous colorectal carcinoma etiopathogenesis is complex and most likely by malignancy of preexisting adenomas (adenoma-adenocarcinoma sequence). The following tumoral synchronism clinical case's particularity is represented by the simultaneous diagnosis of a flat-type adenocarcinoma o...

We present the case of a 32-year-old woman who, 10 months after abdominoperineal resection and total mesorectal excision for a locally advanced mucinous adenocarcinoma of the rectum, presented with local recurrence and metastases to the breast, spine, the left eye and orbit. Following surgery, due to the patient's personal reasons, adjuvant chemoradiation was not given. The patient died 2 month...
