RESUMO

A male patient in his 60s at the time of the first medical examination had a smoking history of 50 years with 25 cigarettes a day. He was diagnosed with double urothelial cancers. In 200a, total left pelvic ureterectomy(pT2N0M0, Stage Ⅱ)and transurethral bladder tumorectomy(pTisN0M0, Stage Ⅰ)were performed. For his gastric cancer with malignant pleural effusion(cT3N0M1, Stage Ⅳb), in 200a plus 2, downstaging was acquired after chemotherapy. In 200a plus 5, subtotal gastrectomy D1 dissection was performed(W/D adenocarcinoma, pT2N0M0, Stage ⅠA, Ef 1). For the first lung cancer, in 200a plus 5, thoracoscopic lung wedge resection of the left lower lobe was performed(P/D adenocarcinoma, pT1aN0M0, Stage ⅠA1, R0, Ef 1). For the second lung cancer, in 200a plus 13, thoracoscopic lung wedge resection of the right upper lobe was performed after chemotherapy(P/D adenocarcinoma, pT1bN0M0, Stage ⅠA2, R0). For the third lung cancer, in 200a plus 17, immunotherapy was performed for the left upper lobe lung cancer(P/D adenocarcinoma, cT3N1M1a, Stage ⅢA). All the cancers were diagnosed as primary lesions by immunohistological examination. For the metachronous multiple cancers, multidisciplinary treatment was necessary for each cancer considering the patient's physical condition. Moreover, strict follow-up was necessary because of the high risk of carcinogenesis.

RESUMO

The extent of rare side effects of mRNA vaccines for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains unclear. Several cases of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) following COVID-19 vaccination have been reported. We herein report a 72-year-old man who presented with a fever after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. He was diagnosed with acute kidney injury due to myeloperoxidase-ANCA-associated vasculitis and was treated with intermittent hemodialysis, high-dose prednisolone, and intravenous rituximab. His general symptoms and renal impairment subsequently improved. When systemic symptoms are prolonged or renal abnormalities appear after COVID-19 vaccination, the possibility of AAV should be considered.

RESUMO

We describe 13 resected cases of thyroid benign tumor diagnosed as Class Ⅲ by Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology(FNA). The cytological report of these 13 were highly nuclear atypia, papillary cell clumps, nuclear inclusion bodies. Preoperative diagnoses were suspicion of malignant tumors(5 cases)and suspicion of benign tumors(8 cases). Results of the intraoperative frozen section diagnosis were suspicion of malignant tumor(5 cases)and suspicion of benign tumor(7 cases). The operative methods were subtotal thyroidectomy in 5 cases, hemithyroidectomy in 3 cases, lobectomy of the thyroid in 5 cases, the lymph nodes sampling was added in 5 cases. The final pathological diagnoses were follicular adenoma(5 cases), adenomatous goiter(8 cases), In the 5 to 10% of the FNA Class Ⅲ, definitive diagnosis cannot be made even with diagnostic imaging. The FNA Class Ⅲ cases should be treated surgically as a malignant tumor. But the operation method should be selected cautiously in having possibilities to be a benign tumor.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The diagnostic utility of En1 in the histopathologic differentiation of eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) from invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was investigated. METHODS: Expression of En1 and CK19 in 16 cases of EPC was immunohistochemically examined and compared with that in 32 cases of SCC. RESULTS: In all 16 EPCs, En1 was expressed in 3% to 100% of tumor cells. In 20 of the 32 SCCs, En1 was expressed in 3% to 90% of tumor cells. A total of 13 of the 16 EPCs and five of the 32 SCCs were judged as En1 positive, with a cutoff value of 25%. In addition, 11 of the 16 EPCs and four of the 32 SCCs were CK19 positive. The frequencies of En1- and CK19-positive cases were significantly higher in EPCs than in SCCs. In a logistic regression analysis for predicting EPC, En1 and CK19 were independent markers. When expression patterns of En1 and CK19 were combined, none of the 32 SCCs was both positive. In contrast, 15 of the 16 EPCs were positive for either En1 or CK19. CONCLUSIONS: A combination of En1 and CK19 expression can improve the accuracy of histologic diagnosis of EPC.

RESUMO

An 81-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to paresthesia of the extremities and difficulty in walking for three months. She underwent a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the endometrium seven months before the admission. The serum levels of neuron specific enolase (NSE) reduced after the surgery. She showed numbness of her limbs, disturbance of vibration, areflexia and autonomic dysfunction. Nerve conduction studies showed sensory dominant sensory neuronopathy. CT scan of her abdomen and pelvis revealed the recurrence of LCNEC of the endometrium. The serum levels of NSE was elevated and anti-Hu antibody was also positive. Other laboratory test, including autoantibodies were unremarkable. We diagnosed her as paraneoplastic sensory neuronopathy associated with postoperative recurrence of LCNEC of the endometrium. Here we show a clinical picture of anti-Hu positive paraneoplastic neurological syndrome with LCNEC of the endometrium.

RESUMO

A 72-year-old man with general fatigue was referred, and CT and MRI revealed a pancreatic mass with necrosis that was suspected of invading the stomach, splenic artery, celiac artery, liver, and portal vein. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed an extrinsic mass with ulcer formation in the posterior wall of the upper gastric corpus and irregular mucosa in the lower esophagus incidentally. Biopsy showed squamous cell carcinoma from both lesions, leading to the diagnosis of pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma and early esophageal cancer. We performed distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, total gastrectomy, partial hepatectomy, superior mesenteric-portal vein resection, and reconstruction. The pathological results revealed pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma and infiltration of cancer cells at the dissected peripancreatic margin. Therefore, we administered radiotherapy(50.4 Gy to the retroperitoneal region)in postoperative month 2. Endoscopic mucosal resection was performed for the early stage esophageal cancer lesion in postoperative month 5. Three courses of S-1 were administered as adjuvant therapy since postoperative month 7, and he is currently alive without recurrence 1 year and 8 months after surgery. Multidisciplinary treatment can be effective for locally advanced pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma.

RESUMO

Double cancer of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and gastric cancer is rare. A 62-year-old man underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The pathological findings were tub1>tub2, m, ly0, v0, n0, Stage I A. Two years and a month later, a liver tumor(diameter of 3 cm)and a pelvic mass(diameter of 2.5 cm)were observed. Metastasis from gastric cancer was suspected and chemotherapy(SOX)was administered. However, after 5 courses, CT revealed worseningof the liver tumor (diameter of 12 cm)and pelvic mass(diameter of 3 cm). Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and its peritoneal metastasis were also suspected. There was a limit to treatment with chemotherapy, and it was difficult to judge whether to target gastric cancer or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma for chemotherapy. In addition, the lesions were localized in the right lobe of the liver and the pelvis. Therefore, we decided to perform resection. As a second-stage operation, pelvic mass extraction and portal vein embolization were performed first. The pathological result of the pelvic mass assessment was mucinous carcinoma. Subsequently, expansive right hepatectomy was performed. The pathological findings were also suggestive of mucinous carcinoma, which was finally diagnosed as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and peritoneal dissemination. Six months after the surgery, several recurrent nodules were observed in the pelvis and GEM plus CDDP was initiated. Currently, 1 year after surgery, there are no restrictions in the activities of daily life of the patient and he is treated on an outpatient basis.

RESUMO

In the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, atypical, off guideline multidisciplinary approaches are sometimes effective. A 70-year-old man was diagnosed with multiple hepatocellular carcinomas, multiple bone metastases, and a right adrenal metastasis. Sunitinib was started and the primary hepatic lesions and bone metastases disappeared. However, his adrenal metastasis worsened. Sorafenib, radiotherapy, and some investigational agents were administered, but the adrenal metastasis did not respond. There were no other new lesions except the adrenal lesion 4 years after the initial treatment, so we decided to perform a resection. In the left half lateral decubitus position, the adrenal mass was removed with right thoracolaparotomy. After the surgery, his tumor markers quickly returned to normal. Seven years after the initial treatment(2 years and 4 months after the last surgery), he is alive without any recurrence. Multidisciplinary treatment with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery may result in long term survival even for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with multiple extra-hepatic lesions.

RESUMO

A 67-year-old man with elevated hepatobiliary enzymes was referred to our hospital for further examination. Computed tomography indicated hilar cholangiocarcinoma of Bismuth type Ⅳ and revealed invasion of the right hepatic artery and the left portal vein. We diagnosed locally advanced unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma, and performed 5 courses of chemotherapy with gemcitabine plus S-1. After chemotherapy, the tumor was significantly reduced in size and vascular invasions were alleviated, so we decided to perform surgical resection. An extended left hepatectomy with caudate lobe and extrahepatic bile duct resection was performed. Although the intraoperative pathological examination was positive for cancer at the hepatic margins, we did not perform further bile duct resection because of the difficulty. After the surgery, we administered adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine for 5 courses. Another 8 courses of gemcitabine plus S-1 therapy were given because of elevation of CA19-9. The tumor marker levels normalized, and the patient is still alive without findings of recurrence 4 years after the first treatment. Multidisciplinary treatment with chemotherapy and surgery may suggest the possibility of increasing long term survival even for patients with locally advanced unresectable cholangiocarcinoma.

RESUMO

A 73-year-old man underwent laparoscopy-assisted partial resection of the rectum to treat rectal cancer diagnosed in September 2011 at a previous hospital. Lymph node dissection was not performed and the vertical margin was positive. When multiple liver tumors were detected 10 months later, the patient was referred to our hospital. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed local recurrence of the rectal cancer, lymph node metastasis, and 9 liver metastases, which had a maximum diameter of 10 cm, and where curative resection would have been difficult. The rectal cancer expressed epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and wild type K-ras gene, and we initiated cetuximab/irinotecan (CPT-11) chemotherapy. After 2 courses of chemotherapy, the liver tumors had markedly decreased in size and anterior resection of the rectum with regional lymph node dissection was performed. The pathological diagnosis of the rectal tumor was mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma ( MANEC). Extended right hepatectomy was performed four months later. The liver tumors were also diagnosed as metastases of MANEC of the rectum. The therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy was assessed as Grade 1b. The patient is alive without recurrence 34 months since the initial rectal surgery and 15 months after the liver resection. Thus, an anti-EGFR antibody agent might be effective against MANEC of the colon and rectum.

RESUMO

Colonic metastasis from other organs is very rare. Here we report the case of a 62-year-old man with a history of pancreatoduodenectomy for stage IIB pancreatic head cancer performed seven years back. He presented with abdominal distension and pain. Under the preoperative diagnosis of bowel obstruction, surgical treatment was performed, and a circumferential lesion causing bowel obstruction of the ascending colon was detected. A right hemicolectomy with lymph node dissection was performed. The specimen showed a 5-cm wall thickening with a cobble-stone like appearance of the ascending colon, which morphologically appeared scirrhous. Histological examination revealed cancer nests invading from the subserosa to the muscular and submucosal layers of the colon. Immunohistochemical analysis of the tumor cells demonstrated positive staining for cytokeratin 7, but negative for cytokeratin 20, which was the same as the previous pancreatic cancer specimen. These pathological and immunohistochemical features strongly supported the diagnosis of colonic metastasis from the pancreas. Thereafter, the patient received systemic chemotherapy, but unfortunately, he died 14 mo after the surgery.

RESUMO

Despite its abundant vascularization and extensive circulatory communication with neighboring organs, metastases to the penis are a rare event. A 57-year-old male, who had undergone total pelvic exenteration for rectal cancer sixteen months earlier, demonstrated an abnormal uptake within his penis by positron emission tomography/computed tomography. A single elastic nodule of the middle penis shaft was noted deep within Bucks fascia. No other obvious recurrent site was noted except the penile lesion. Total penectomy was performed as a curative resection based on a diagnosis of isolated penile metastasis from rectal cancer. A histopathological examination revealed an increase of well differentiated adenocarcinoma in the corpus spongiosum consistent with his primary rectal tumor. The immunohistochemistry of the tumor cells demonstrated positive staining for cytokeratin 20 and negative staining for cytokeratin 7, which strongly supported a diagnosis of penile metastasis from the rectum. The patient is alive more than two years without any recurrence.

RESUMO

Lymphoma is one of the causative factors of hypothalamus-pituitary dysfunction, and intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a subtype of primary extranodal neoplasm. A 69-year-old woman visited our hospital because of general fatigue. We diagnosed her with presumable non-functional primary pituitary adenoma and subsequent dysfunction. Eight months after, the patient revisited our hospital because of dyspnea. Though we conducted systemic investigations including chest and abdomen enhanced computer tomography, transbronchial lung biopsy, and bone marrow biopsy, the diagnosis was not confirmed. Inadvertently, a breast cancer was found, and the surgical specimen proved that the patient had double cancer-adenocarcinoma and IVLBCL. Rituximab, cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, and prednisolone regimen was initiated, and complete remission was achieved. Notably, the sellar mass returned to normal size with improved function. We reviewed 32 patients with primary parasellar lymphoma. In affected sites, both sellar and pituitary stalk (6.7%), both hypothalamus and pituitary stalk (6.7%), only sellar (63.3%), only pituitary stalk (6.7%), only hypothalamus (13.3%), and only clivus (3.3%) were observed. In hypothalamus-pituitary dysfunction, both anterior and posterior dysfunction (20.7%), only anterior dysfunction (58.6%), only posterior dysfunction (3.4%), and no dysfunction (17.2%) were observed. It seemed that hypothalamic lesion is related to both anterior and posterior dysfunction, while sellar lesion is related to mainly anterior dysfunction. In cranial nerve dysfunction, 2nd nerve dysfunction (45.2%) and 6th nerve dysfunction (35.5%) were frequently observed. It seemed that sellar lesion is related to both 2nd and 6th nerve dysfunction, while hypothalamic lesion is related to mainly 2nd nerve dysfunction.

RESUMO

Idiopathic plasmacytic lymphadenopathy (IPL) with polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia has been proposed as a new disease entity resembling the plasma cell type of multicentric Castleman's disease. Here, we report a case of IPL accompanied by renal failure and skin involvement. A 35-year-old man was admitted for advanced renal failure, anemia, systemic lymphadenopathy and skin rashes. Laboratory examinations indicated polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia and elevated serum interleukin-6 (IL-6). Biopsy of a cervical lymph node revealed follicular hyperplasia with normal germinal centers, sheets of polyclonal proliferating plasma cells and the absence of marked proliferation of blood vessels in the interfollicular area. Lesions of the kidney and skin also had pathological characteristics of IPL. Following a diagnosis of IPL, corticosteroid therapy successfully improved the anemia and hypergammaglobulinemia, and serum IL-6 levels decreased to a normal range. This case may give suggestions about diagnosing and preventing the progression of complications from this disease entity.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Operative resection is the treatment of choice for colorectal liver metastasis. In the present study, we investigated the prognostic factors after hepatic resection, focusing on the concomitant resection of extrahepatic metastases. METHOD: A retrospective cohort study was performed in 187 consecutive patients who had undergone initial hepatic resections for colorectal metastases using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS: The overall survival rates at 3, 5, and 10 years were 49%, 30%, and 22%, respectively. Hilar lymph node involvement (HLN), localized peritoneal seeding (P), and distant organ metastasis (M) were resected in addition to the liver metastases in 9, 13, and 21 patients, respectively. The P and M factors were related univariately to an unfavorable patient prognosis, but the HLN factor was not. In a multivariate regression analysis, the hazard ratios of these three factors of interest were 1.58 (HLN; 95% confidence interval 0.64-2.52, median survival 48 months), 2.12 (P; 1.38-2.85, 18 months), and 3.07 (M; 2.45-3.68, 19 months), respectively. CONCLUSION: Aggressive operative resection for colorectal liver metastases yielded an acceptable long-term outcome. The presence of distant organ metastasis seems to be a contraindication for operative intervention and/or resection; although the number of patients enrolled in the present study was small, resection of localized peritoneal seeding or hilar lymph node involvement, in addition to the resection of the liver metastases, may benefit patient survival.

RESUMO

The patient was a 61-year-old man who was referred to our hospital with a complaint of epigastric pain. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and X-ray examination of the stomach revealed type 3 cancer in the gastric antrum, extending to the middle body. It was about 9 cm in diameter, and the biopsy specimen revealed moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. Abdominal CT scan showed marked enlargement of No. 3 lymph nodes along the lesser curvature of the stomach. Examination of the blood showed a hemoglobin of 10.2 g/dl, CEA 5.8 ng/ml, CA19-9 330.5 U/ml. For this gastric cancer, clinical Stage IIIA (cT3N1HOPOMO), neoadjuvant chemotherapy with TS-1/CDDP was planned. TS-1 (120 mg/day) was orally administered for 3 weeks followed by a drug-free-2-week period as the first course, and 93 mg (60 mg/m2) of CDDP administered by intravenous drip on day 8. There were grade 2 nausea and grade 3 appetite loss by intravenous administration of CDDP in the second course. An upper GI series revealed 33% reduction of gastric cancer, and laboratory studies CEA and CA 19-9 showed normal values. One month after the second course of chemotherapy, total gastrectomy, splenectomy and lymph node dissection D2 were performed. The pathological specimens showed no cancer cells in the surgically obtained stomach and lymph nodes, so the histological effect was Grade 3. The postoperative course was satisfactory, and he now attends outpatient department without any findings of recurrence 12 months after the operation. TS-1/CDDP chemotherapy produced a high response in this case, and it may be useful as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer.
