Abstract

Here, seven very rare cases of gastrointestinal tract from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital in China were reported, such as indolent T-cell lymphoproliferative disease of the gastrointestinal tract involving the colon and tonsil, gastric plasmablastic lymphoma, gastric cancer with lymphoid stromal caused by EB virus combined with monoclonal B-cell lymphoproliferative disease, hepatoid adenocarcinoma with liver metastasis, gastroblastoma, choriocarcinoma, pancreatic acinar-like adenocarcinoma of the proximal stomach invading the esophagus and so on. It is very important for pathologists to understand and identify these very rare diseases accurately for the appropriate treatment and patient’s management.
