Collison tumor of the stomach is rare, and its endoscopic and pathological features remain poorly described. A 70-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for examination and treatment of undifferentiated gastric cancer. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a whitish, superficial elevated lesion in contact with a reddish, superficial depressed lesion from the anterior wall of the gastric angle and antrum to the lesser curvature. Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy was performed for preoperative diagnosis of suspected early gastric cancer presenting as a differentiated and undifferentiated collision tumor, which led to the lesion being diagnosed as collision tumor, tub1-tub2+por1-sig, pT1a (M), ly0, v0, N0, stage IA. To our knowledge, this report represents a valuable addition to the collision tumor literature describing a rare case of preoperatively diagnosed collision tumor of the stomach.

Introduction: Collision skin lesions (CSL) are rare clinical and pathological entities, posing significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. These lesions comprise at least two distinct cell populations - benign and/or malignant neoplasms - that are adjacent yet clearly demarcated. CSL were categorized as collision tumours into three types: two benign lesions, one benign and one malignant lesion, and two malignant lesions, with the most common being basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and melanocytic naevus.

Background: For patients with small-size colorectal liver metastases, growing evidence suggests thermal ablation to be associated with fewer adverse events and faster recovery than resection while also challenging resection in terms of local control and overall survival. This study assessed the potential non-inferiority of thermal ablation compared with surgical resection in patients with small-size resectable colorectal liver metastases.
Methods: Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) from 14 centres in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy with ten or fewer small-size (≤3 cm) colorectal liver metastases, no extrahepatic metastases, and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, were stratified per centre, and according to their disease burden, into low, intermediate, and high disease burden subgroups and randomly assigned 1:1 to receive either thermal ablation (experimental group) or surgical resection (control group) of all target colorectal liver metastases using the web-based module Castor electronic data capture with variable block sizes of 4, 6, and 8.

Cutaneous squamomelanocytic tumor (SMT) is a very rare cutaneous malignancy, composed of a dual phenotypic population of both malignant melanocytes and keratinocytes, intimately intermingled together. Herein, we report a new case of a SMT occurring in an 82-year-old man, located on the scalp. Histopathology revealed a mixed population consisting of squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma within the same lesion, also confirmed using immunohistochemical staining for high molecular-weight cytokeratins (HMWCKs) and Melan-A.

Background: Primary pulmonary Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a sporadic disease with a favorable prognosis. Particularly, pulmonary MALT lymphoma coexisting with lung cancer is not only rare but also prone to misdiagnosis. The clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of this co-occurrence, however, remain poorly understood.
