[A long-term survivor of a rectal carcinoid treated by use of repeat TACE for multiple intrahepatic recurrences after liver resection and MCT].

A woman between 50 and 60 years of age was diagnosed with a rectal carcinoid tumor and synchronal multiple liver metastases. We performed a transanal local resection of the rectal tumor, which was 10mm in diameter. During surgery, ultrasonography revealed 8 hypoechoic masses in the liver, and we performed a partial hepatectomy (S5/6, S8) and administered microwave coagulation therapy.

[Two cases of resectable adrenal metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma].

The first case is a 72-year-old man who underwent(palliative)anterior segmentectomy for multiple hepatocellular carcinoma tumors with a maximum diameter of 10 cm at the age of 70 years. The hepatic lesion was well controlled for some time by trans-catheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). However, left adrenalectomy was performed 17 months after surgery when metastasis to the left adrenal gland was found.

[Occurrence of squamous cell lung carcinoma in the irradiated field after radiotherapy for breast cancer].

Radiotherapy for breast cancer reduces the incidence of disease recurrence and breast cancer mortality.However, it has also been associated with an increased risk of developing secondary cancers in exposed sites.Recently, we observed a 64-year-old woman who developed squamous cell lung carcinoma in the field irradiated with a total dose of 55 Gy after conservative breast surgery for left breast cancer 16 years previously.
