Colonic carcinoma in young adults are rare and has a higher mortality and morbidity because of poor histological type and delay in diagnosis. We are reporting two cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma of caecum and sigmoid colon in young males.
Reporting three rare cases of multiple primary cancers. Case one and two were a synchronous presentation of primary gastric carcinoma and renal carcinoma, gastric carcinoma and papillary carcinoma thyroid. Case 3 was metachronous presentation of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Mesenteric tumors are rare, most commonly encountered lesions are fibromatoses and leiomyoma. A case of hemangiopericytoma of mesentery in a 38 years old female is reported for its rarity. The classical histological findings and recticulin stain to demonstrate blood vessels & recticulin fibers, encircling individual tumor cells aids in the correct diagnosis.
