Laparoscopic resection of abdominal cystic lymphangioma derived from lesser omentum: Case report.

Rationale: Cystic lymphangiomas are uncommon congenital malformations that originate from lymphatic channels. Lymphangiomas frequently appear in the head, neck, and axillary regions of children. Abdominal cystic lymphangiomas are extremely rare, having a reported incidence of 1 in 20,000 to 250,000.

A Social Program for the Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer: The Kishiwada Katsuragi Project.

Objectives: The early-stage pancreatic cancer (e-PC; stage I/II) detection rate is quite low at approximately 25%. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a social program (the Kishiwada Katsuragi project) wherein our hospital, which specializes in PC, and primary care medical offices (PMOs) used clinical findings to detect e-PC.

Methods: Patients with a score of ≥2 points on clinical findings were enrolled: symptoms of abdominal pain/back pain (1 point), new-onset diabetes (1 point), high amylase (AMY) and/or pancreaitc AMY (P-AMY) (1 point), high carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (1 point), and ultrasonography (US) findings including direct (e.

[Long-Term Survival of a Patient with Rectal Neuroendocrine Carcinoma after Treatment with Curative Resection and Adjuvant Chemotherapy with Capecitabine].

A 63-year-old man who complained of hematochezia underwent colonoscopy, and a type 2 tumor was detected at the Rs portion. The tumor was initially diagnosed as a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma by biopsy. Laparoscopy-assisted anterior resection with regional lymphadenectomy was performed, and pathological examination showed the tumor was a neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) with muscular invasion and lymph node metastasis.

Solitary metastatic gallbladder malignant melanoma originated from the nasal cavity: A case report.

Introduction: Solitary gallbladder metastasis of malignant melanoma is rare and generally originates from skin melanoma. We report a case of gallbladder metastasis from a malignant melanoma of the nasal mucosa that was surgically treated.

Presentation Of Case: A 77-year-old Japanese woman diagnosed with malignant melanoma of the left sinonasal cavity three years ago underwent follow-up PET-CT and FDG uptake was detected only at the gallbladder.

Solitary metastasis to the intercostal muscle from hepatocellular carcinoma: A case report.

Introduction: Skeletal muscle metastases from carcinomas, especially to intercostal muscles, are rare. Most metastatic chest wall tumors from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) result from disseminations through needle tracts of intrahepatic HCC treatments.

Presentation Of Case: We report the case of a 65-year-old man with chronic viral hepatitis B whose intrahepatic lesions were stabilized by repeated radiofrequency ablations and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization.
