Main concept in testing is the expected result.By knowing the expected behaviour of the application or system from SRS and FDS ,we can derive a test case.When executed the derived test case's ,actual result is noted.Any deviation from the expected is considered as a defect.

In Adhoc testing ,there is no need of a test case,but if we want to log a defect ,we should know the expected behaviour of the application or a system.

There is only one possibility for this question according to me.Exploratory testing.

An interactive process of concurrent product exploration, test design, and test execution. The heart of exploratory testing can be stated simply. The outcome of this test influences the design of the next test.Tester will explore the product or application and will note down the expected result and will design a test case and execute the test.

As per my experience there should be some expected result in every test. It is not a proper test without defining the expected result.

Suppose, if an application is already developed and with some older Technologies (ex MS Access or VB) and wanted to upgrade whole application with new technologies like .NET or Java, in this scenario by assuming the older version as a base application we can test the new application, so here we no need the expected results. 
But for new technologies we might need to test new features that were provided by new technologies so preparing test cases to cover all functionalities is the better way to provide a quality product and as other too said that To compare application's behaviour we should have some expected value and with out expected value a test case is not a complete one. We can test an application with out test case and that is exploratory testing.

Plz correct me if I am wrong

In brief, "Adhock" testing or "free form" testing which are done without
having any test scripts are known as testing without expected results.
But keep in mind that in these cases also we have some exception and if that do
not reached then we will raise defect. These exception might be related with the
experience/understanding of appl. under test and SRS of appl. under test.
