Abstract
The frequency of adenosquamous carcinoma of the colon is <0.1% [1-3]. The first case of colorectal adenosquamous carcinoma was reported by Herxheimer in 1907 and was described as a tumor with both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma components. These tumors have a greater potential to metastasize as compared to conventional adenocarcinoma of the colon. Adenosquamous carcinoma, located in the ascending colon is rare and has a poor prognosis. Thus, early detection of adenosquamous carcinoma is important and treatment of choice is surgical resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. An adenosquamous carcinoma in the lower gastrointestinal tract is a rare malignancy with a frequency of 0.020.06% [4].
期刊介绍：
Experimental Pathology encompasses the use of multidisciplinary scientific techniques to investigate the pathogenesis and progression of pathologic processes. The International Journal of Experimental Pathology - IJEP - publishes papers which afford new and imaginative insights into the basic mechanisms underlying human disease, including in vitro work, animal models, and clinical research.
Aiming to report on work that addresses the common theme of mechanism at a cellular and molecular level, IJEP publishes both original experimental investigations and review articles. Recent themes for review series have covered topics as diverse as "Viruses and Cancer", "Granulomatous Diseases", "Stem cells" and "Cardiovascular Pathology".
