Cancer is one of the main challenges global public health and a leading cause death, hindering increase in life expectancy, Leishmaniasis occupies second position number deaths from parasitic diseases. Gold(I)‐based drugs are being studied for chemotherapy have been shown promising results, to search analogs with more favorable effect profiles. This work presents synthesis characterization five new gold(I) complexes, [AuIDTCPPh3] [AuI2DTC(PPh3)2], using dithiocarbamate‐derived ligands...
Anorectal malignant melanoma (AMM), is a rare and aggressive form of melanoma. Accounts for <2% melanomas, anal tumors. It more frequent at the 6th-7th decade, mostly in women. Surgery mainstay treatment, but extent controversial.82-year-old male, presented with rectal mass Emergency Room (ER). After local excision, pathology observed that corresponded to AMM.

Incomplete regression of the embryonic mammary line occurs in 0.3-6% population. Ectopic breast tissue is mostly asymptomatic and can undergo malignant transformation. cancer accounts for 0.2-0.6% all cancers. Screening examinations miss these lesions due to their location making diagnosis more challenging. We describe a case primary invasive lobular carcinoma an ectopic on left axilla detected 49-year-old woman. Firstly diagnosed as sebaceous cyst, lesion was excised under local anesthesia....

Cholecystectomy leads, occasionally, to the diagnosis of subclinical primary carcinomas and rarely metastatic tumors. The authors report gallbladder metastasis after an elective cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis. Histological examination disclosed a from lobular breast carcinoma. Authors found no more than 25 case reports cancer in English literature. Of those, only one first with radiological or macroscopic signs malignancy. Rare clinical presentations, as this case, should...
Dieulafoy lesion of the gallbladder is very rare. It can cause hemobilia and, consequently, acute pancreatitis. After extensive research, authors found six reported cases this entity, none them presenting as pancreatitis.A 78-year-old woman presented to emergency department a right upper-quadrant pain and nausea.

Leiomyosarcomas are the least frequent primary breast sarcomas, making it an extraordinarily rare malignancy. The clinical manifestation of this entity as a fungating wound is, on its own, highly unusual in developed nations, mainly due to improvement worldwide screening programs and easier access health care. Management remains challenging, accurate histopathological diagnosis is essential for proper treatment plan. Thus, we present case metastatic leiomyosarcoma contribute scarce...
