A pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is a rare condition. It is treated in various ways, depending on its location and size. Herein, we describe the preoperative diagnosis of a PAA that was resected by segmentectomy.

He was suspected meningoencephalitis with fever, abnormal sweating, muscle tone, confusion, and introduced to the neurology department of our hospital. After admission, increasing convulsions and apnea attack required mechanical ventilation therapy.

Eight months after surgery, a CT scan showed an 18 mm-sized hypodense mass in S6 of the liver, and the patient was diagnosed with recurrent liver metastasis.

- A 72-year-old man was diagnosed with moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma after esophagogastroduodenoscopy for gastric discomfort.
- After surgery and initial treatment, he was reclassified to Stage IV due to intraoperative findings and started on S-1 plus Tmab therapy.
- Following multiple treatments, including nab-PTX, the patient achieved a complete clinical response and has remained cancer-free for seven years post-chemotherapy.
Introduction: Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach (HAS) is an alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing gastric carcinoma (GC) with a hepatocellular carcinoma-like histology. HAS is a relatively rare type of GC, with liver metastases being more common than peritoneal dissemination in the recurrent form, and the poor prognosis.
Presentation Of Case: We present the case of a 70-year-old patient who underwent distal gastrectomy for GC and immunohistologically diagnosed as HAS.
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the postoperative immune-nutritional status of patients undergoing segmentectomy and lobectomy for early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer.
Methods: Patients with clinical stage 0-IA non-small-cell lung cancer who underwent lobectomy or segmentectomy were retrospectively analysed. Postoperative immune-nutritional indices (prognostic nutritional index, serum albumin levels and total lymphocyte count) at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years after surgery were compared using mixed effects linear models and mixed effects logistic regression models.
