Adenosquamous carcinoma of the ileum. Report of a case and review of the literature.
Adenosquamous carcinomas of the intestine are rare tumours, especially those occurring in the small bowel. We report the first case of a metastasizing adenosquamous carcinoma of the ileum in a 74 year old male. The tumour mainly consisted of squamous cells, many of which reacted with antikeratin antibody. A review of the pertinent literature is given.
