Example code from Wikipedia:

.code
demomain:
  REPEAT 20
	switch rv(nrandom, 9)	; generate a number between 0 and 8
	mov ecx, 7
	case 0
		print "case 0"
	case ecx				; in contrast to most other programming languages,
		print "case 7"		; the Masm32 switch allows "variable cases"
	case 1 .. 3
		.if eax==1
			print "case 1"
		.elseif eax==2
			print "case 2"
		.else
			print "cases 1 to 3: other"
		.endif
	case 4, 6, 8
		print "cases 4, 6 or 8"
