We report an unusual case of gastric carcinosarcoma with rhabdomyosarcomatous and neudoendocrinal differentiation in a 71-year-old Japanese female. Gastric carcinosarcoma with rhabdomyosarcomatous and neuroendocrinal differentiation is a rare tumor. The tumor developed in the body of the stomach and was exophytic in appearance. By histochemical analysis, the tumor was shown a part of positive for desmin and myoglobin and a part of positive for synaphtophysin and vimentin.We conclude that, though rare, gastric carcinosarcoma with rhabdomyosarcomatous and neuroendocrinal differentiation thus is reviewed in the English literatures.

Objective: Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) is uncommon high-grade endometrial cancer with limited treatment options. We evaluated the prognostic significance of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression and HER2 gene amplification within large cohorts of UCS, and clarify clinicopathologic characteristics of HER2-low UCS.
Methods: We examined HER2 protein expression in 148 patients of UCS using in vivo diagnostic HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) kits and HER2 gene amplification using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in 72 patients.

Article Synopsis
- Decreased oestrogen receptor (ER) expression in endometrial carcinomas (EC) is linked to poorer prognosis, but the exact cut-off for distinguishing high-risk from low-risk cases is still unclear.
- In a study of 120 biopsy specimens, the Allred scores indicated that the majority (over 80%) of non-specific molecular profile ECs had high ER expression (scores ≥ 7), while most non-endometrioid types had lower scores (≤ 6).
- Results from analyzing matched biopsies and hysterectomies showed consistent ER staining, with only minor discrepancies, indicating reliable assessment methods for determining ER expression.
Duodenal Carcinosarcoma: An Apple-Core Lesion Causing Gastric Outlet Obstruction.

We present a case of a 58-year-old male with a rare duodenal carcinosarcoma causing gastric outlet obstruction. Despite its aggressive nature and poor prognosis, with only 12 documented cases in the literature, this report sheds light on the clinical presentation and challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Carcinosarcoma, characterized by both carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements, poses difficulties in management due to its diverse tissue characteristics.
