RESUMO

Laparoscopic cystectomy for mature teratomas is associated with a high incidence of intraperitoneal spillage and tumor spread; however, extragonadal recurrence of this benign tumor is rare. We hereby present an additional case of extragonadal mature teratoma that recurred in the pouch of Douglas after ovarian cystectomy. A 43-year-old Japanese woman presented with atypical genital bleeding. A 7 cm mature teratoma was detected using transvaginal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. At 26 years old, she underwent bilateral cystectomy for bilateral mature teratoma of the ovary. During laparoscopic surgery, a cystic tumor appeared in the pouch of Douglas and was firmly adhered to the surrounding tissues. Both ovaries were normal. The resected tumor was diagnosed as extragonadal, benign, mature teratoma. To avoid the extragonadal recurrence of mature teratoma, removal of tumor contents from intraperitoneal spillage by lavage should be performed at the end of surgery.

RESUMO

A previous retrospective study of a neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium including 42 cases employed a central pathologic review to ensure the reliability of the findings. However, the pathological processes were not described in detail. In this study, we further analyzed these processes and the results of pretreatment endometrial cytology of neuroendocrine carcinoma. Of the 65 patients from 18 institutions registered in the study, 42 (64.6%) were diagnosed with neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium based on the central pathological review. Thirteen of the 23 excluded cases conflicted from their original diagnoses: 5 (38.5%) were diagnosed with endometrioid adenocarcinoma, 5 (38.5%) with undifferentiated carcinoma, and 3 (23.1%) with carcinosarcoma. Immunohistochemical staining led to a change in diagnosis for 8 (61.5%) of the 13 cases. Pretreatment endometrial cytology was examined in 38 (90.5%) cases; 34 (89.5%) of these 38 cases were found, or suspected, to be positive. To ensure the selection of appropriate therapy and keeping patients correctly informed, it is important to distinguish neuroendocrine carcinoma from other similar histologic types. Endometrial cytology may help in the early detection of this disease.

RESUMO

Uterine torsion is defined as a rotation of >45° around the long axis of the uterus. Uterine torsion is an uncommon event but is even rarer in non-gravid women, with only 25 cases reported in the last 20 years. Here, we report a case of uterine torsion associated with multiple pedunculated subserosal uterine leiomyomas in an 83-year-old woman. She presented at the hospital with lower abdominal pain, and a computed tomography scan revealed multiple uterine leiomyomas with calcifications. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging raised suspicion for torsion of pedunculated subserosal uterine leiomyomas. Emergency laparotomy was performed, and the patient was diagnosed with uterine torsion with multiple pedunculated subserosal uterine leiomyomas. Total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. Although difficult to diagnose due to its rarity, uterine torsion can be life-threatening and may cause infertility. Therefore, early diagnosis with imaging and surgical intervention are crucial to avoid serious complications.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a classification system introducing neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) of the female reproductive tract, excluding the ovaries. This study aimed to evaluate whether retrospective adaption of the gastroenteropancreatic (GEP)-NEN classification is feasible for ovarian NENs (O-NENs) and correlates with prognosis. METHODS: Sixty-eight patients diagnosed with carcinoid, small cell carcinoma (pulmonary type), paraganglioma, non-small/large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC), mixed NEC, or undifferentiated carcinomas at 20 institutions in Japan were included in this retrospective cross-sectional study. We identified O-NENs through central pathological review using a common slide set, followed by reclassification according to WHO 2010 guidelines for GEP-NENs. A proportional hazards model was used to assess the association of prognostic factors (age, stage, performance status, histology, and residual disease) with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS: Of the 68 enrolled patients, 48 were eligible for analysis. All carcinoids (n = 32) were reclassified as NET G1/G2, whereas 14 of 16 carcinomas were reclassified as NEC/mixed adeno-NEC (MANEC) (Fisher's exact test; p < 0.01). The OS/PFS was 49.0/42.5 months and 6.5/3.9 months for NET G1/G2 and NEC/MANEC, respectively. Histology revealed that NEC/MANEC was associated with increased risk of death (HR = 48.0; 95% CI, 3.93-586; p < 0.01) and disease progression (HR = 51.6; 95% CI, 5.54-480; p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Retrospective adaption of GEP-NEN classification to O-NENs is feasible and correlates well with the prognosis of O-NENs. This classification could be introduced for ovarian tumors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Immune responses due to radiotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors potentially have synergistic effects. CASE REPORT: Here, we report a 65-year-old Japanese woman presenting with high-grade endometrial cancer. She was diagnosed with carcinosarcoma, stage IB. A month post-surgery, lung, and mediastinal lymph node metastasis/recurrence was detected. Progressive disease (with high microsatellite instability) with local recurrence and bone metastasis was detected after six chemotherapy cycles with paclitaxel and carboplatin. After combination therapy with pembrolizumab (2 mg/kg, tri-weekly, 10 cycles) and pelvic radiotherapy (30 Gy/10 fractions), enhanced computed tomography revealed a complete response. The patient survived for 14 months with the residual tumour post-relapse. This is the first case of a complete response of recurrent endometrial carcinosarcoma upon combinatorial pembrolizumab and radiotherapy. CONCLUSION: Combinatorial immune checkpoint inhibitors and local radiotherapy cause the abscopal effect and may be a promising treatment strategy for advanced or recurrent carcinosarcomas refractory to traditional chemotherapy.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: We investigated the etiology and impact on outcomes of polycystic kidney disease in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm. METHODS: Eight-hundred patients who underwent open (n = 603) or endovascular aortic repair (n = 197) were divided into three groups: no cyst (n = 204), non-polycystic kidney (n = 503), and polycystic kidney (≥ 5 cysts in the bilateral kidneys, n = 93). The characteristics and outcomes were compared among the groups. RESULTS: In the polycystic kidney group, the age was increased and the proportions of patients with male sex, hypertension, and estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 were greater. The overall hospital mortality rates were similar. The incidence of acute kidney injury after elective open aortic repair was increased in the polycystic kidney group (12%, 17%, and 29%, P = 0.020). In the polycystic kidney group, 80 patients did not have renal enlargement or a family history of renal disease, while 13 (corresponding to 1.6% [13/800] of the overall patients), had renal enlargement, suggesting the possibility of hereditary polycystic kidney disease. CONCLUSIONS: In our cohort, 1.6% of the patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm who underwent surgery were at risk of hereditary polycystic kidney disease. Polycystic kidney disease was associated with acute kidney injury after open aortic repair.

RESUMO

RATIONALE: The malignant potential and the appropriate treatment of uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex-cord tumor (UTROSCT) is controversial. Although these tumors generally have benign outcomes, several reports have described recurrences, metastases, and deaths associated with this disease. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 57-year-old Japanese woman (gravida 2, para 2) was referred to our hospital for the evaluation and treatment of uterine fibroids. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a right ovarian mass and multiple fibroids in the uterine myometrium. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with UTROSCT with sarcomatous features. INTERVENTIONS: She initially underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, followed by second-stage surgery comprising pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy and subtotal omentectomy. OUTCOMES: No postoperative recurrence was observed in the patient in 36 months. LESSONS: In this case, extended radical surgery prevented the development of recurrent disease in a patient with UTROSCT with sarcomatous features. These clinicopathological findings suggest that UTROSCT is associated with several risk factors, including older age, presence of necrosis, lymphovascular invasion, significant nuclear atypia, and significant mitotic activity. This lesion type should be considered malignant and treated with curative intent.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for spinal cord injury (SCI) in patients with acute aortic dissection undergoing surgery with frozen elephant trunk technique (FET). METHODS: From December 2014 to February 2018, 17 patients with acute aortic dissection underwent surgical treatment of the aortic arch with FET. SCI occurred in 3 patients. Risk factors for SCI were evaluated. RESULTS: Mean age of the patients was 56 years and 88.2% were male. The ratio of true lumen to total aortic diameter at the level of carina (before: 0.48 vs. after: 0.75, P < 0.001), aortic valve (before: 0.47 vs. after: 0.67, P = 0.001), and celiac artery (before: 0.48 vs. after: 0.68, P = 0.003) increased after surgery. There were no significant differences in perioperative minimum hemoglobin level and postoperative mean arterial pressure between patients with and without SCI. However, patients with SCI had higher creatinine level before surgery (SCI: 1.32 mg/dL vs. no SCI: 0.81 mg/dL, P = 0.023). Although there was no difference in number of patent intercostal arteries before surgery, those originating from the true lumen were fewer in patients with SCI (SCI: 2.7 vs. no SCI: 8.6, P = 0.021). Furthermore, with entry closure, significant decrease in patency was observed in intercostal arteries originating from the false lumen (before: 3.1 vs. after: 1.0, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: FET was useful in entry closure. However, FET in patients with higher creatinine level and those who may have significant spinal cord perfusion from the false lumen could be a risk factor for postoperative SCI.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of prosthesis selection in hemodialysis patients undergoing valve replacement for aortic valve stenosis. METHODS: From July 2008 to December 2016, 76 patients on hemodialysis underwent aortic valve replacement for aortic valve stenosis. Of these patients, 30 patients were treated by a mechanical valve and 46 patients were treated by a bioprosthesis. Early outcomes and long-term outcomes were compared. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients treated by a mechanical valve was younger than the patients treated by a bioprosthesis (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in in-hospital mortality (p = 0.52). For the long-term outcomes, complications associated with bleeding were higher in patients who received a mechanical valve (p = 0.032). However, no significant difference was observed in mortality (p = 0.65) and major adverse cardiovascular cerebrovascular event (MACCE: p = 0.59). The actuarial survival rate with a mechanical valve was 56.7% (95% CI 36.4-72.8%) at 3 years and 48.6% (95% CI 28.9-65.8%) at 5 years. The actuarial survival rate with a bioprosthesis was 61.2% (95% CI 44.0-74.5%) at 3 years and 39.5% (95% CI 20.9-57.8%) at 5 years. No patients from both groups needed redo surgery for valvular deterioration. Further, there was no significant difference in long-term mortality (p = 0.91) and MACCE (p = 0.63) in a propensity score-matched patient comparison. CONCLUSIONS: Although bleeding complications were higher in patients who received a mechanical valve, there were no significant differences in early- and long-term mortality, and MACCE between patients treated by a mechanical valve and a bioprosthesis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: We conducted a retrospective, multi-institutional, collaborative study to accumulate cases of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium, to clarify its clinicopathologic features, treatment, prognosis and prognostic factors to collate findings to establish future individualized treatment regimens. To our knowledge, this is the largest case study and the first study to statistically analyze the prognosis of this disease. METHODS: At medical institutions participating in the Kansai Clinical Oncology Group/Intergroup, cases diagnosed at a central pathologic review as neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium between 1995 and 2014 were enrolled. We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathologic features, treatment, prognosis and prognostic factors of this disease. RESULTS: A total of 65 cases were registered from 18 medical institutions in Japan. Of these, 42 (64.6%) cases were diagnosed as neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium based on the central pathological review and thus included in the study. Advanced International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stages (stage III and IV) and pure type small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma cases had a significantly worse prognosis. Upon multivariate analysis, only histologic subtypes and surgery were significant prognostic factors. Pure type cases had a significantly worse prognosis compared to mixed type cases and complete surgery cases had a significantly better prognosis compared to cases with no or incomplete surgery. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that complete surgery improves the prognosis of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium. Even among cases with advanced disease stages, if complete surgery is expected to be achieved, clinicians should consider curative surgery to improve the prognosis of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Left ventricular free wall rupture is a catastrophic complication of acute myocardial infarction. Sutureless repair has been reported to be an effective surgical procedure for left ventricular free wall rupture. However, the outcomes of sutureless repair remain unclear. METHODS: Between January 2001 and December 2016, 42 patients were treated for left ventricular free wall rupture at Jichi Medical University. Of them, 35 consecutive patients undergoing sutureless repair using the TachoComb (CSL Behring, Tokyo, Japan) or TachoSil (Nycomed, Zurich, Switzerland) patches were included in this study. No patient required cardiopulmonary bypass. The oozing type of left ventricular free wall rupture was observed in 33 patients (94%), and the blow-out type was observed in 2 patients (6%). The rupture sites were the anterior wall in 16 patients (46%), the posterior-lateral wall in 11 patients (31%), and the inferior wall in 8 patients (23%). RESULTS: The in-hospital mortality rate was 17% (6 patients). Re-rupture after sutureless repair occurred in 17% (6 patients). Of them, 4 cases (67%) of re-rupture occurred within 24 hours after surgery. The 2 patients with blow-out type left ventricular free wall rupture experienced re-rupture. Three patients required mitral valve surgery after sutureless repair during the admission. The overall survivals at 1, 5, and 10 years were 71.4%, 68.6%, and 62.9%, respectively. Multivariable analysis revealed that re-rupture was an independent predictor for decreased survival (hazard ratio, 58.6; 95% confidence interval, 4.9-701.6; P = .001). Postoperative pseudoaneurysm formation was not detected during the follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Sutureless repair using TachoComb/TachoSil patches can be a viable treatment option for left ventricular free wall rupture. Care should be taken when applying this technique in cases of the blow-out type left ventricular free wall rupture.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Sarcopenia, age-related loss of muscle mass, is an objective and comprehensive marker of frailty. We aimed to clarify the influence of sarcopenia on the outcomes after heart valve surgery. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 1119 patients who underwent valve surgery via median sternotomy at our institution from June 2009 to December 2013. Patients aged <70 years, urgent/emergent cases, and patients without preoperative computed tomography of the abdomen were excluded. The remaining 428 patients were included in this study. Psoas muscle area, a validated measure of sarcopenia, was measured on preoperative computed tomography. Sarcopenia was defined as the lowest sex-specific quartile in psoas muscle area. The mean follow-up period was 3.4 years. RESULTS: Overall in-hospital mortality did not differ between the sarcopenia and nonsarcopenia patient groups. However, the incidence of stroke and intra-aortic balloon pump/percutaneous cardiopulmonary support use was greater in the sarcopenia group than in the nonsarcopenia group. The patients with sarcopenia had significantly decreased long-term survival and decreased freedom from major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events. Multivariable analysis and inverse probability weighting revealed that sarcopenia was an independent predictor for decreased survival (hazard ratio, 2.22; 95% confidence interval, 1.26-3.92; P = .006). CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative sarcopenia defined from the psoas muscle area was associated with long-term outcomes after valve surgery. Thus, the measurement of psoas muscle area can help facilitate more accurate risk scoring in elderly patients.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To identify the perioperative factors associated with aneurysm size changes after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). METHODS: Between August, 2008 and December, 2014, 187 patients underwent EVAR treatment in our institution. The subjects of this study were 135 of these patients without peripheral artery disease, who were followed up with computed tomography (CT) for 3 years. Significant aneurysm size change was defined as sac size change of more than 5 mm from the baseline. RESULTS: Sac enlargement was identified in 25 patients (18.5%) and sac shrinkage was identified in 59 (43.7%) patients. The factors associated with sac enlargement were postoperative pulse wave velocity (OR: odds ratio 3.80, p = 0.047), prevalence of a type 2 endoleak 1 week after surgery (OR 4.26, p = 0.022), inner diameter (OR 1.10, p = 0.005), and distance from the lower renal artery to the terminal aorta (OR 1.05, p = 0.017). The factors associated with sac shrinkage were prevalence of a type 2 endoleak (OR 0.09, p < 0.001) and preoperative pulse wave velocity (OR 0.32, p = 0.022). The factors independently associated with type 2 endoleak were the use of an Excluder device (OR 3.99, p = 0.002) and the length of the aneurysm (OR 1.02, p = 0.027). CONCLUSION: Inner diameter, treatment length, perioperative pulse wave velocity, and type 2 endoleak were associated with sac size changes after EVAR.

RESUMO

Objective: To investigate the predictors of acute kidney injury (AKI) following surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm. Materials and Methods: Subjects were 642 non-hemodialysis patients (open aortic repair [OAR] group, n=453; endovascular aortic repair [EVAR] group, n=189) who underwent elective surgery between 2009 and 2015. AKI was assessed according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria. In-hospital mortality and incidence of AKI were compared between the OAR and EVAR groups. The effect of AKI on outcomes and predictors of AKI were examined in both groups. Results: In-hospital mortalities were 0.7% (3/453) in the OAR group and 0.5% (1/189) in the EVAR group. The incidence of AKI increased in the OAR group (14.1% vs. 3.7%, P<0.01). In the OAR group, in-hospital mortality (0% vs. 4.7%, P<0.01) increased in patients with AKI. In the OAR group, hemoglobin level <10 g/dL, estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, operation time >300 min, history of ischemic heart disease, and amount of bleeding >1,000 mL were predictors of AKI. In the EVAR group, amount of transfusion>1,000 mL was a predictor of AKI, but AKI was not found to worsen outcomes. Conclusion: AKI affected outcomes of OAR. Knowledge of predictors may optimize perioperative care.

RESUMO

Ruptured pseudoaneurysm following pelvic surgery is a rare and fatal complication. Because of its rarity, existing evidence is limited to a small case series. A 60-year-old woman underwent staging laparotomy, including pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy, for ovarian cancer. On the 11th day, the patient developed a sudden lumbar pain and loss of consciousness, which resulted in a state of shock. She was diagnosed as having a pelvic abscess and ruptured external iliac artery pseudoaneurysm. We performed ligation of the external iliac artery to restrain hemorrhage and femoro-femoral artery bypass to prevent infection, which saved the patient's life. Our study had two findings. First, this is the first reported case of ruptured external iliac artery pseudoaneurysm following surgery for ovarian cancer. Second, treatment of ruptured pseudoaneurysm requires rapid hemostasis, prevention of infection, and revascularization.

RESUMO

Neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC), also called small cell carcinoma or large cell carcinoma, is a rare and aggressive tumor that develops mainly in the lung and intestine. More rarely, NEC develops in gynecologic organs, with poor prognoses. We experienced a case of NEC in the broad ligament of the uterus. The patient was a 74-year-old woman with symptoms of abdominal distension and constipation. Ultrasound sonography detected an abdominal tumor larger than 10 cm. She was then admitted to our hospital. She underwent surgery under the diagnosis of ovarian cancer, but the bilateral ovaries and uterus were normal in appearance, and a tumor was developing instead from the broad ligament of the uterus. The patient then received a hysterectomy, salpingo-oophorectomies, and lymphadenectomy, and the peritoneal membrane was stripped around the pelvic space. Despite our suggestion, she never accepted the adjuvant treatment. She discontinued her periodic follow-up with and was followed in another hospital. Generally, the prognosis of NEC is poor, and there is no established treatment for a tumor in a gynecologic lesion. However, we anticipate that the accumulation of experience treating such cases will eventually lead to a standard treatment for NEC.

RESUMO

Objective: We investigated the characteristics and surgical outcomes of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), which typically occurs in elderly persons, in Japanese patients aged 50 years or younger. Materials and Methods: Clinical records of 999 patients who underwent open or endovascular repair for AAA at our hospital between 2007 and 2015 were reviewed to identify the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of young patients with AAA. The cohort included 14 patients aged 50 years or younger (mean, 40.4 years; young group) and 985 patients aged older than 50 years (mean, 72.8 years; old group). Results: Marfan syndrome, prior aortic dissection, and a history of aortic surgery were more prevalent in the young group, and 50% of the patients in the young group had dissecting aneurysms. All patients in the young group underwent open repair. Overall in-hospital mortality rates were 7.1% (1/14) and 1.9% (19/985) in the young and old groups, respectively (P=0.67). Seven-year survival and aortic event-free survival rates in the young group were 82.5%±11.5%, and 71.2±14.5%, respectively. Conclusion: AAA in patients aged 50 years or younger tended to be associated with Marfan syndrome, a history of aortic surgery, and prior aortic dissection. Early outcomes of AAA among young patients are acceptable, but close postoperative monitoring is important.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Pulse wave velocity (PWV), which measures vascular stiffness, is a powerful predictor of cardiovascular event. Treatment of aneurysms with endovascular prosthesis has been reported to increase PWV. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether an endoskeleton stent graft design has less effect on PWV than the exoskeleton stent graft design. METHODS: Between July 2008 and September 2016, 74 patients underwent endovascular treatment of aortic arch aneurysm in our institution. PWV before and after surgery were compared between those who underwent treatment with Najuta, an endoskeleton stent graft (n = 51), and those treated with other commercially available exoskeleton stent grafts (n = 23). RESULTS: Preoperative PWV (endoskeleton: 2004 ± 379.2 cm/s vs. exoskeleton: 2083 ± 454.5 cm/s, p = 0.47) was similar between the two groups. Factors that were associated with preoperative PWV were age (r = 0.37, 95% CI 0.15-0.56, p = 0.002) and mean arterial pressure (r = 0.53, 95% CI 0.34-0.68, p < 0.001). There was a significant increase in PWV in patients treated by exoskeleton stent grafts (before: 2083 ± 454.5 cm/s vs. after: 2305 ± 479.7 cm/s, p = 0.023) while endoskeleton stent graft showed no change in PWV (before: 2003 ± 379.2 vs. after: 2010 ± 521.1, p = 0.56). In a multivariate analysis, mean arterial pressure (coef 17.5, 95% CI 6.48-28.59, p = 0.002) and exoskeleton stent graft (coef 359.4, 95% CI 89.36-629.43, p = 0.010) were independently associated with PWV after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Physiological changes after endovascular treatment should be considered including effect on vascular stiffness. Endoskeleton stent graft may provide aneurysm repair with minimum effect in PWV after surgery.

RESUMO

Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL), a rare disease that is histologically benign but clinically aggressive, is characterized by the intraluminal growth of benign leiomyoma in the intrauterine and systemic veins. Preoperative diagnosis of IVL is difficult, because the symptoms of early stage IVL are similar to those of uterine leiomyoma. The efficacy of adjuvant hormone therapy after surgical resection of IVL remains unclear. Herein is described a case of IVL that was diagnosed preoperatively, in which successful total resection of the tumor was achieved by radical hysterectomy. The patient, a 50-year-old premenopausal Japanese woman, also underwent aromatase inhibitor treatment and was free of disease at 36 months after surgery. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography is suggested as the best assessment for identifying and diagnosing IVL. Radical hysterectomy can be considered a successful therapy for total resection. Aromatase inhibitor treatment may be effective, especially when the patient has not yet entered menopause.
