Primary Pleomorphic Omental Rhabdomyosarcoma in an Adult: A Report of a Unique Case.

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a very rare, highly malignant neoplasm thought to originate from the pluripotent mesenchymal tissue. Predominantly diagnosed among children and teenagers, however they can also be encountered in adults. There are a few risk factors associated with RMS like family history of malignancy and genetic syndromes like neurofibromatosis type 1, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Noonan syndrome and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome; however, most cases of RMS are sporadic.

Colonic Goblet Cell Carcinoid: Rarity of a Rarity! A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Goblet cell carcinoids (GCC) are extremelyrare neuroendocrine tumours, and characterised by their unique combination of two types of cancer cells âÃÂ" neuroendocrine (carcinoid) and epithelial (adeno-carcinoma). In spite of the fact that GCC is regarded as Neuro-Endocrine Tumour (NET), it does not illicit carcinoid syndrome. GCC usually arises in the appendix and accounting for less than 14% of all appendiceal tumours.

Routine histopathological examination of gallbladder specimens after cholecystectomy: Is it time to change the current practice?

Objectives: Routine histopathological examination of all gallbladder specimens, regardless of the clinical characteristics of the patient or macroscopic aspect of the gallbladder, is the current approach to detect the presence of gallbladder carcinoma. The aim of the present study was to assess whether or not it would be safe to adopt a policy of processing only gallbladder specimens with preoperative or intraoperative suspicion for malignancy without compromising patient safety.

Material And Methods: From January 2009 to June 2017, all histopathology reports of 3423 consecutive gallbladder specimens after elective and emergency cholecystectomies were retrospectively analyzed in two university hospitals.
