Introduction: Adenosquamous carcinoma is a rare colorectal tumor with both an adenocarcinoma and a squamous cell carcinoma component. To the best of our knowledge, only few cases have been reported in the literature.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 46-year-old woman, hospitalized for large bowel obstruction syndrome. Computed tomography scan showed an irregular mass of the right colic angle, responsible for an occlusive syndrome with distension of the right colon, the appendix and the terminal ileum. The patient underwent right hemicolectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. Histopathological examination revealed mixed adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma. Adjuvant chemotherapy was prescribed for the patient.
Discussion: Adenosquamous carcinoma is a rare colorectal neoplasm revealed by non-specific complaints. Its clinicopathology is not yet understood. Preoperative diagnosis is often difficult. Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment.
Conclusion: Adenosquamous carcinoma is a malignant tumor with poorer prognosis than adenocacinomas.

A major paradigm shift in the diagnosis, management, and survival outcomes of early and advanced non-small cell lung cancer has transpired over the past few decades in thoracic oncology with the incorporation of molecular testing, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, neoadjuvant, and adjuvant approaches. However, transformation in the management and survival outcomes of rare lung tumors is lacking. Given the scarcity of these tumor types, randomized trials are rarely performed, and treatment is extrapolated from case series, tumor-agnostic trials, or cancers with similar histology.

Pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma (PASC) is a rare subtype of pancreatic cancer (PC), with no established consensus on the optimal treatment for postoperative liver metastasis recurrence. We report a case of a 48-year-old male patient who underwent radical surgery and was pathologically diagnosed with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) PASC. The patient experienced liver metastasis recurrence following single-agent gemcitabine adjuvant chemotherapy.

Rationale: As a paraneoplastic syndrome, Trousseau syndrome (TS) is a collective term for various thromboembolic events caused by clotting and fibrinolytic abnormalities in patients with tumors, clinically manifesting as venous and arterial thromboembolism, as well as disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The incidence rate of arterial thrombosis in patients with TS is 2% to 5%.
Patient Concerns: This article reports 2 patients with TS-induced cerebral infarction.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the occurrence of synchronous or metachronous hematologic and gynecologic malignancies. The medical database of the pathology department at a tertiary center was searched from 2016 to 2024 for cases involving both hematologic and gynecologic tumors. A literature search using Google Scholar and PubMed was also conducted between May and June 2024.
