Introduction: Adenoid cystic cancer of the breast is a rare condition, and even rarer are the cases where it is histologically mixed with other variants of cancer within a single lesion. In this report, one of the few cases of mixed adenoid cystic breast cancer intermingled with the infiltrating ductal variant is presented. A subsequent review of the relevant literature presents the existing experience in treating mixed breast cancers with adenoid cystic components with regard to diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.

- Pleomorphic giant cell pancreatic cancer is a rare and aggressive type of pancreatic cancer that presents differently than more common forms, as seen in a unique case involving a cystic lesion and a serous cystadenoma.
- A 44-year-old man with a history of alcoholism initially showed symptoms that led to a misdiagnosis of a pancreatic pseudocyst, and while he improved with conservative treatment, follow-up scans later revealed the presence of pleomorphic giant cell carcinoma.
- This case underscores the importance of proper diagnosis and management of pancreatic cystic lesions and suggests that surgical intervention may be more effective than conservative treatment for atypical presentations.
Background And Aim: Radical surgical treatment improves survival in patients suffering from retroperitoneal tumors with co- existing inferior vena cava thrombus. The extraction excision can be performed through many techniques such as liver mobilization which is performed in liver transplantation procedures.
Methods: During 2000-2007, 11 patients with retroperitoneal tumors and inferior vena cava thrombus were surgically treated in our department.
