A 76-year-old woman had underwent 5-fluorouracil(5-FU), oxaliplatin(L-OHP)combination therapy(mFOLFOX6)as first-line chemotherapy for peritoneal recurrence after resection of sigmoid colon cancer. She showed severe general fatigue and disturbance of consciousness on the second day of the 12th course of chemotherapy. Computed tomography of the head detected no abnormal findings in the central nervous system.

[Descending Colon Cancer with Synchronous Solitary Small Intestinal Metastasis-A Case Report].

A 77-year-old man presented with biliary colic and was diagnosed with descending colon cancer and cholelithiasis.During the surgery, a mass was detected in the upper jejunum, located 5 cm from the Treitz ligament on the anal side.Open left hemicolectomy with partial jejunal resection was performed.

[A Case of Rupture of Esophageal Varices during a Course of CAPOX with Bevacizumab Therapy for Sigmoid Colon Cancer with Multiple Liver Metastases].

The patient was a 67-year-old man with multiple liver metastases from sigmoid colon cancer and had received capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab(CAPOX plus Bev)combination chemotherapy. After 11 courses of this therapy, he had a rupture of esophageal varices and was treated with endoscopic variceal ligation(EVL). Esophageal varices are rare during the course of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy.

[A Resected Case of Retroperitoneal Metastasis and Small Bowel Metastasis from HCC].

A 71-year-old man underwent right hemi-hepatectomyfor a hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)measuring 18 cm in diameter. The pathological diagnosis was poorlydifferentiated HCC. Ten months after the surgery, computed tomographyrevealed a nodule 12mm in diameter in the right lung as well as 2 nodules measuring 19 and 11mm in diameter in the retroperitoneum at the cranial aspect of the left kidney.

[A Case of Gastric Neuroendocrine Carcinoma with Bulky Lymph Node Metastases, Solitary Liver Metastasis, and Left Adrenal Metastasis Curatively Resected after Chemotherapy].

A 68-year-old man presented with generalfatigue due to anemia. Gastrointestinalendoscopy showed a tumor approximately 60mm in diameter in the lesser curvature of the angle of the stomach. Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma was diagnosed by biopsy of a tumor specimen.

[Long-Term Survival after Multidisciplinary Treatment for Resected Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma with Recurrence of Pulmonary Metastases - A Case Report].

Recent studies indicated that isolated pulmonary metastases could define a favorable subgroup in metastatic pancreatic cancer. We report a case of isolated pulmonary metastases after curative resection of pancreas head cancer treated with chemotherapy and pulmonary metastasectomy survived for 79 months after recurrence. A 72-year-old male underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreas head cancer.

[A case report of metastatic anal fistula cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy].

A 69-year-old man with perianal pain was diagnosed with an anal fistula and a rectal tumor by magnetic resonance imaging and pulmonary tuberculosis by computed tomography. A colonoscopy confirmed the presence of a circular mass in the rectum 6 cm from the anal verge. Histological examination revealed a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma.

Postoperative outcomes of primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinomas: review article.

Background: We examined the course of a primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (PHNEC) patient and analyzed the postoperative outcome of all reported PHNEC cases.

Methods: A literature search for PHNEC cases was performed using PubMed. All reported cases and our present patient were analyzed in this study.

The first genetically confirmed case of Dioctophyme renale (Nematoda: Dioctophymatida) in a patient with a subcutaneous nodule.

We describe a nematode larva in a subcutaneous nodule excised from a 44-year-old Chinese male who had been living in Japan for 15 years. Morphological features suggested that the worm was a dioctophimatid nematode. PCR amplification and sequencing of small subunit ribosomal DNA and mitochondrial cytochrome subunit c oxidase genes allowed us to identify the larva as the giant kidney worm, Dioctophyme renale (Goeze, 1972).

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-producing ascending colon cancer as indicated by histopathological findings: report of a case.

Various types of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-producing malignant tumors have been reported. However, a G-CSF-producing colorectal cancer is rare. We present a case of G-CSF-producing ascending colon cancer.

[Combination chemotherapy of S-1/low-dose CDDP/lentinan for advanced gastric cancer].

Eight patients with inoperable advanced gastric cancer were treated with combination chemotherapy of S-1, low-dose cisplatin(CDDP)and Lentinan. S-1 80 mg/ m² was orally administered for 2 weeks followed by 1-week rest, CDDP 15 mg/ m² and Lentinan 2 mg/body were given intravenously on day 1 and 8. One complete response and four partial responses were observed for an overall response rate of 63%(5 of 8 patients).

[A case of the local advanced gastric cancer which became a resection possible in S-1/CDDP/lentinan neoadjuvant chemotherapy].

A 61-year-old man with esophagus invasive advanced gastric cancer and peritoneum dissemination underwent three courses of S-1/CDDP/Lentinan (LNT) combination neoadjuvant chemotherapies (T3N1P1H0, Stage IV) (It is S-1 80 mg/m2,CDDP 15 mg/m2 and LNT 2 mg/body twice/week for two weeks) since down staging was obtained. We performed the surgery of total gastrectomy, splenectomy, D2 lymph node dissection, and Roux-en Y reconstruction in March 2008. With the surgical examination, there was no ascites and peritoneal dissemination.
