<p>Medullary thyroid carcinoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma are two distinct types of thyroid carcinoma having different cellular origin. The simultaneous occurrence of two distinct neoplasms termed “collision tumour” and it is a rare entity. Sometimes the medullary component does not show calcitonin positivity and hence this becomes a very rare entity. Herein we describe a very rare case of simultaneous occurrence of calcitonin negative medullary thyroid carcinoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma.</p>

Abstract We report a rare case of gastric collision tumor composed of moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma and carcinoid in an 84-year-old woman. On endoscopic examination, an invasive tumor was noted at the cardia of the stomach, and a pathologic examination of the biopsy specimen revealed adenocarcinoma. After total gastrectomy, a thorough histopathologic examination of the resected tumor revealed the concurrent presence of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and a typical carcinoid tumor, which had a colliding pattern of tissue proliferation. There was no intermixing or transition area between the 2 components. The final pathologic diagnosis was collision tumor of the adenocarcinoma and carcinoid tumor. The presence of either tumor individually would not be especially noteworthy, but this collision-type tumor of both histopathologic types in the stomach is, to our knowledge, only the sixth such case in the literature.

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.
