RESUMEN
A 63-year-old woman came to our hospital complaining of anemia and weight loss. The abdominal CT showed wall thickening from the upper to lower the body of stomach, and peritoneal dissemination. The EGD revealed a type 3 large tumor extending about 2/3 of the circumference. Adenocarcinoma was detected as a result of biopsy. The patient was diagnosed with unresected gastric cancer(cT4aN+M1, cStage â £). SOX plus nivolumab was selected as a first-line chemotherapy because of HER2 expression negative. Symptoms such as diarrhea developed, and the treatment was completed until 5 courses. Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy was performed after the disappearance of abdominal dissemination by CT scan and PET. Pathological examination revealed cancer cells were completely disappeared in the tumor, regional lymph nodes and white nodules in the peritoneum, and final diagnosis was ypT0N0M0, ypStage 0(histological effect determination is Grade 3). Six months after the operation, the patient has been free of recurrence.

Desmoid tumor is a rare tumor of the soft tissue. The frequency of occurrence is 2.4 to 4.3 cases per year per million people, which is a very rare disease. We experienced a huge intra-abdominal desmoid tumor which is thought to be the primary mesentery. The case was a male in his 20s. He visited a nearby doctor with a complaint of abdominal bloating and abdominal pain. Abdominal contrast CT revealed a huge abdominal mass with a clear boundary of 35×25 cm in size extending from the upper right abdomen to the pelvis. Surgery was performed with a diagnosis of an intra-abdominal mass. Open abdominal tumor resection. Due to infiltration into the duodenum, transverse colon, and pancreas, right hemicolectomy and duodenal combined resection were performed. The pathological diagnosis was a diagnosis of desmoid tumor.

A man in his 80s was referred to our hospital for further examination of partial pancreatic atrophy that was detected incidentally. Various imaging examinations including CT, MRI, and EUS did not reveal any obvious abnormal findings other than the partial pancreatic atrophy. However, cytological examination of serial pancreatic juice aspiration showed atypical cells. The presence of pancreatic intraepithelial carcinoma in the atrophy site was considered, and the patient underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy. Pathological examination of the excised specimen confirmed the presence of high-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia consistent with the atrophy site, and the patient was diagnosed with pTisN0M0, Stage 0 pancreatic cancer. For the detection of early pancreatic cancer, it is important to be aware of partial pancreatic atrophy on imaging studies.

A 69-year-old man was admitted for the severe anemia. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed type 3 gastric cancer (por1, HER2 negative)that spread from EG junction to the lesser curvature of lower gastric body. CT revealed LNs metastasis and the direct invasion to the diaphragm. We diagnosed the locally advanced gastric cancer(T4bN[+]M0, Stage â £A) and planed neoadjuvant chemotherapy. After 3 courses of S-1 plus CDDP therapy, serum CEA level increased. And the invasion to diaphragm was unclear although the tumor shrunk. After 3 courses of nab-PTX plus RAM therapy as the second- line, the tumor was PD. As the third-line chemotherapy, nivolumab therapy was repeated up to a total of 15 courses. As the tumor was PR, the patient underwent total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. The histopathological examination revealed that the cancer invaded into the muscle layer without lymph nodes metastasis. The cancer was diagnosed as pT2 (MP)N0M0, Stage â B. The cancer cells were EB virus positive and MSI-high. CD 8 positive T lymphocytes infiltrated into the stroma. The patient is alive 26 months without adjuvant chemotherapy. The curative operation was able to perform because the infiltrative CD8 positive T lymphocytes reactivated with nivolumab responded remarkably.

A 74-year-old man with no chronic liver disease was admitted for an incidental liver tumor by computed tomography. Serological examinations for hepatitis B and C virus were negative and tumor markers, including carcinoembryonic antigen, α-fetoprotein, carbohydrate antigen 19-9, and des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin, were within the normal range. The contrast- enhanced magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the 26 mm in diameter patchy tumor occupied the S7 in the liver. The tumor boundary was enhanced slightly in the arterial phase and inside gradually in the portal phase, and the enhancement was faded in the late phase. As a characteristic finding, vessels penetrated the tumor. The tumor was diagnosed as cholangiocarcinoma, and the patient underwent right lateral sectionectomy. After 19 days postoperatively, the patient was discharged. The diagnosis of hepatic mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue(MALT)lymphoma was made by pathological examination. Currently, the patient has no recurrence for 5 months without adjuvant chemotherapy. The primary hepatic MALT lymphoma is a rare disease among primary hepatic malignant lymphomas. The patient must be followed up carefully because 2 cases were reported as recurrent cases after several years postoperatively although the disease has a good prognosis.

The patient is a 52-year-old woman who visited the general practitioner because of positive fecal occult blood test by medical examination. The patient underwent colonoscopy at the hospital, which revealed sigmoid colon cancer. Therefore, the patient was referred to our hospital for surgery. Preoperative CT scan revealed a well-defined and lobulated 54 mm tumor on the caudal side of the duodenal third portion. On MRI, the tumor showed low T1-weighted image signal and high T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted images signal, with low ADC. For preoperative diagnosis, we diagnosed sigmoid colon cancer and transverse colon mesenteric and performed laparoscopic sigmoid colon and transverse colon mesenteric tumor resections. The histopathological tumor diagnoses were sigmoid colon cancer(S, type 2, 30×30 mm, 1/2 circumference, moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, pT3[SS], INF b, Ly1a, V1a, pN1b[#252: 2/4], sM0, fStage â ¢b)and transverse colon mesentery primary solitary fibrous tumor. The patient was treated with XELOX as the adjuvant chemotherapy and survived without recurrence until present.

A 43-year-old woman with about abdominal distension was referred to our hospital for a more detailed examination. Abdominal CT showed 27 cm-sized cystic lesion with the calcification along the partition wall and a nodular hyperplasia. We suspected pancreatic pseudocyst, primary retroperitoneal tumor and we performed tumorectomy. The resected specimen had a maximum diameter of 27 cm. The histopathological diagnosis was mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas with ovarian-type stroma. The adjuvant chemotherapy treated with gemcitabine was selected for 3 courses. She continues to do well without any recurrences 7 months later.

The questionnaire survey was conducted on treatment strategies for gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination at 7 institutions, including 5 designated cancer hospitals in Yamaguchi prefecture. Staging laparotomy was performed at 6 out of 7 institutions. Six out of 7 institutions selected the treatment strategy for P0CY1 cases", upfront resection and adjuvant therapy". The doublet chemotherapy was performed by S-1 plus platinum or taxane. Surgical treatment for P1 cases, conversion gastrectomy was considered at all institutions when it was judged that R0 resection was possible after induction chemotherapy. Chemotherapy for P1 cases was treated according to the guidelines at all institutions, and the regimen was not changed depending on the peritoneal dissemination.

An 85-year-old man presented to our hospital for loss of consciousness. Blood test revealed anemia, and the fecal occult blood test was positive. Colonoscopy revealed an ileal ulcer located 10-14 cm from the ileal end on the proximal side. Pathological examination was indicative of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL), and laparoscopic resection was selected as the technique of choice. The ileal tumor was strongly adhered to the sigmoid colon, and laparoscopic partial resection of the ileum and sigmoid colon was performed. In general, primary gastrointestinal lymphomas may occur, for which perforate and surgical resection is recommended. It is rare for malignant lymphomas to involve other intestinal areas, and laparoscopic surgery is useful in such cases.

A 41-year-old man with upper abdominal and back pain was admitted to another hospital. He had a history of recurring acute pancreatitis and pseudocyst. Six months later, abdominal CT revealed a pancreatic head tumor arising from the pseudocyst, and adenocarcinoma was suspected based on endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration(EUS-FNA)findings. We selected neoadjuvant chemotherapy because resection was difficult due to severe inflammation and edema around the tumor. Chemotherapy(FOLFIRINOX followed by gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel)was effective, and the tumor almost disappeared on CT. Subtotal stomach-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy(SSPPD)was performed 12 months after starting chemotherapy, and curative resection was successful. The final Stage was â ¡A(T3[CH1]N0M0). Histopathological examination revealed no viable tumor cells. S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy was administered for 6 months. He was still alive 22 months postoperation without any recurrence. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is effective in cases involving pancreatic cancer with severe inflammation, because pre-operative chemotherapy can reduce tumor size and alleviate the inflammation caused by acute pancreatitis and pseudocysts.

A questionnaire survey was conducted regarding the prognosis for pancreatic cancer at 8 major hospitals in Yamaguchi Prefecture. A total of 552 patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent radical surgery between 1997 and 2016 were identified. Five of them survived for more than 10 years. Among the 5 patients, none was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy: 4 underwent PD and 1 underwent DP-CAR. Two of them were treated with adjuvant chemotherapy. No complications occurred during their postoperative courses. All of them had no recurrence and survived. Here, we reported the longterm postoperative survival of patients with pancreatic cancer with literature review.

A-67-year old man was diagnosed with gastric cancer and a liver tumor. Extended left hemihepatectomy combined with caudate lobectomy and distal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection were performed. Histological examination revealed synaptophysin and CD56positive tumor cells with a solid and rosette structure, which was diagnosed as endocrine carcinoma (EC). Additionally, a tubular adenocarcinoma was present in the stomach. The liver tumor presented as EC with tumor thrombus in the left portal vein. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with gastric EC(pT3[SS], pN0, P0, CY0, M1[HEP], Stage â £, R0). He received 6courses of the adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin(CDDP)plus irinotecan(CPT-11), and has been alive without recurrence for 21 months post-operation. Gastric EC is a rare subtype of gastric cancer. The resection of liver metastasis of gastric EC may improve patients' prognosis and QOL. CDDP-based chemotherapy is recommended, due to the regimen for small cell lung cancer.

We report a case of a patient treated with everolimus and exemestane combination therapy for bone metastasis after breast surgery.The patient, a 58-year-old woman, consulted our department for back pain in October 2014.S he was diagnosed with left breast cancer when she was 41 years old.She had received Bt+Ax for left breast cancer and administered tamoxifen for 5 years.We decided on everolimus and exemestane combination therapy after observing an abnormal uptake in the 7th to 8th thoracic vertebrae on a PET-CT scan.The pain was controlled using oxycodone and fentanyl orally disintegrating tablet with zoledronic acid.After receiving treatment, the patient experienced pruritus and a Grade 2 rash, but they were managed with antihistamine administration and the treatment was continued.Four months later, the abnormal uptake on the right thoracic vertebrae shrunk; the pain almost disappeared, and oxycodone and fentanyl orally disintegrating tablet were discontinued.Subsequently, exemestane was used alone.Six months later, the range of abnormal uptake on the thoracic vertebrae progressed, and the disease was evaluated as PD.Four months later, everolimus and exemestane combination therapy was resumed, and the abnormal uptake on the thoracic vertebrae almost disappeared as observed on a PET scan.The effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated as CR because other local recurrence and new metastases were not found. Everolimus might exhibit bone resorption inhibiting effects and bone protection effects, but the decision regarding the periods of suitable use and the effects of long-term continuation of treatment are controversial, and further discussion based on experience of increasing use is required.

We report a case of primary anorectal amelanotic malignant melanoma (MM), treated with a laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection (APR). A 75-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of anal bleeding and pain. A finger-tip sized, dark reddish tumor, which protruded from her anus, was observed. After a tumor biopsy, the diagnosis was MM. No cutaneous pigmented regions were observed, and distant metastases and regional lymphadenopathy were not detected by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Therefore, we performed laparoscopic APR in order to relieve her symptoms. The resected specimen showed a partially pigmented tumor with a diameter of 6.0×4.1 cm in the anorectal junction. Histopathological examination of the specimen showed an amelanotic MM (negative for melanin pigmentation, and positive for HMB-45, Melan-A, and S-100). The post-operative course was uneventful, and we could not find any obvious evidence of recurrence of the disease 11 months after surgery. The prognosis of anorectal MM is extremely poor, thus a less invasive surgical procedure is recommended for treatment of anorectal MM. Laparoscopic APR is useful for treating anorectal MM due to its minimally invasive nature.

We report a case of multiple intestinal lymphomas accompanied by rapid growth of cutaneous infiltration after surgery. An 86-year-old woman visited our hospital complaining of lower abdominal pain. Multiple tumors in the sigmoidal and ascending colon were detected by using colonoscopy and computed tomography; therefore, we performed surgery. Postoperative pathological examination identified the sigmoidal colon tumor as an adenocarcinoma and the ascending colon tumor as a B cell lymphoma. The tumors in the ileum and the ileal diverticulum, which were simultaneously excised, were also diagnosed as B-cell lymphomas. After surgery, rapid appearance of multiple light purple nodules on the skin of the right thigh was observed. Histological examination of biopsied skin nodules led to a diagnosis of B-cell lymphoma, similar to the previously removed tumors. Although radiotherapy and chemotherapy were administered to the dermatological lesion that reached an advanced stage, the disease condition was progressive. The patient was transferred to another hospital to receive medical treatment 3 months postoperatively. We consider these dermatological lesions to be dermal infiltration of B-cell lymphomas originating from tumors in the intestinal tract.

The case is a woman in her 60s. She had been aware of lower abdominal distention and pain for six months but was under observation. Gradually, the patient experienced worsening pain during distention and became aware of distention, especially before urination. She visited our clinic. Ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) revealed an abdominal incisional hernia. The hernia was in the bladder. We decided on surgical treatment and made a skin incision of about 3 cm just above the hernia portal. Since the size of the hernia portal was approximately 1.3 cm, the patient underwent direct suture closure to repair the hernia portal, and the surgery was completed. The postoperative course was good. The patient was discharged on the second postoperative day. Four months have passed since the surgery, and the patient is under observation without recurrence.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: The present multicenter prospective observational study investigated the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) and those with RPC contacting major vessels, with respect to a historical control of upfront surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with BRPC and RPC contacting major vessels were prospectively registered and administered NAC with durations and regimens determined by the corresponding treating physician. Our primary aim was to assess the R0 resection rate, and secondary aim was to evaluate safety, resection rate, time to treatment failure, overall survival, and response rate. RESULTS: Fifty of 52 enrolled patients were analyzed; 2 with serious comorbidities died during treatment. Thirty-one patients underwent resection, with R0 resection being achieved in 26 (52% of total and 84% of all resected cases). Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated age (≥75 years) as the only independent predictor of nonresection. Median progression-free survival and median survival time were longer in the prospective cohort than in the historical cohort. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, NAC for BRPC in real-world setting might yield R0 resection rates similar to those reported in previous clinical studies. Development of safe regimens and management strategies that can maintain treatment intensity in geriatric patients is warranted.

A 60-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of right flank pain. An irregular cystic mass region with calcification was detected in his right abdomen on computed tomography( CT). On the fifth day after admission, the patient's abdominal pain suddenly worsened. Based on a diagnosis of panperitonitis, we performed an urgent laparotomy on the same day. A bulky tumor involving the right colon, duodenum, and retroperitoneum was found in his abdominal cavity. We performed right hemicolectomy and partial resection of the duodenum but could not completely excise the tumor. The manipulation caused a serious duodenal injury; and therefore, pyloric antrum transection, gastrojejunostomy, and cholecystostomy were performed to reduce the inflow of gastric content and bile. Histological examination of the surgical specimens revealed a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma that originated from the ascending colon. Many cancer cells were detected in the excised margin; thus, the surgical maneuver of choice was absolute noncurative resection. If peritonitis had not been observed, preoperative chemotherapy would have been more appropriate.

We present the case of a patient who was admitted because of acute pan-peritonitis but was found to have locally advanced rectal cancer that was successfully excised after preoperative chemotherapy. A 68-year-old man was transferred to our hospital via an ambulance because of severe lower abdominal pain. His abdominal computed tomography scan showed a huge tumor in the pelvis. An emergency sigmoid colostomy was performed because of panperitonitis. However, his postoperative examinations indicated locally advanced rectal cancer accompanied with extensive urinary bladder invasion but without distant metastasis, and chemotherapy was started. Eventually, the tumor reduced to 47% of its maximum size after 4 courses of FOLFOX6 and 2 courses of FOLFOX6+panitumumab, and radical excision( low anterior rectal resection, partial urinary bladder resection, D3 lymph node dissection, and total mesorectal excision) was performed on the 154th day since the first operation. No cancer cells were detected on microscopic analysis of the margins of the excised specimen. Thus, preoperative chemotherapy is useful for treating locally advanced rectal cancer.

A 64-year-old man with sudden upper abdominal pain and emesis was admitted to our hospital. Forty years ago, he had undergone distal gastrectomy and reconstruction by Billroth II anastomosis for gastric cancer. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a dilated afferent loop and anastomotic tumor. Gastrofiberscopy showed crookedness and edematization of the afferent loop anastomosis. A biopsy revealed a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. He was operated on under the diagnosis of remnant gastric cancer. Left upper exenteration was performed because the transverse colon, lateral segment of the liver, pancreas, and left renal hilus were involved. Liver metastasis and abdominal dissemination were not observed. Histopathological findings revealed severe invasion of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma to other organs, and intraoperative peritoneal lavage cytology was positive. He was discharged from our hospital; however, adjuvant chemotherapy was impossible because of his poor condition. Four months after the operation, he died from peritoneal carcinomatosis. Remnant gastric cancer with afferent loop syndrome has a poor prognosis. Therefore, it is necessary to select surgical resection or palliative care after immediate chemotherapy, considering each patient's condition and cancer stage.
