Article Synopsis
- Lymphangiomas are benign tumors usually found in children, but rare cases in adults, particularly in the colon, can lead to complications like intestinal blockage (intussusception).
- A 40-year-old woman experienced severe abdominal pain and was diagnosed with ileocecal intussusception due to a cecal lymphangioma, leading to emergency surgery.
- During laparoscopic surgery, a cystic mass was found to be a non-malignant cecal lymphangioma; the patient recovered without complications and highlights the need to consider colonic intussusception in adult lymphangioma cases.
Article Synopsis
- Ampulla of Vater carcinoma (AVC) with para-aortic node metastasis is usually considered unresectable and linked to poor outcomes.
- A 60-year-old man diagnosed with unresectable AVC underwent systemic chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin), leading to significant tumor shrinkage and enabling successful surgery.
- The patient's pathology results showed no remaining tumors post-surgery, indicating a complete response to chemotherapy, and he remained stable with no recurrence during the follow-up period.
Background: Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) varies widely depending on the patient's condition. In recent years, combination therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors has emerged as the treatment of choice due to its superior antitumor effects for unresectable HCC (uHCC). Conversion surgery (CS) after systemic chemotherapy is expected to be an effective treatment strategy for uHCC.
