Small early gastric cancer with synchronous bone metastasis: A case report.

Bone metastasis during the early stages of gastric cancer is rare, and synchronous bone metastasis is even less common. The present report outlines a case of a small early gastric cancer, which was detected due to bone metastasis. A 63-year-old man was referred to Fukuyama Medical Center with back pain and anorexia of 2 weeks' evolution.

[A case of serous cystic neoplasm with form changes on an image obtained during long-term follow-up].

A 45-year-old man presented with a 24-mm macrocystic lesion at the pancreatic head, which was detected by computed tomography (CT). During six years of follow-up, CT, MRI, and endosonographic images of the cystic lesion showed that the cystic lesion had enlarged to 42mm, with the appearance of a thick cyst wall. Since a cystic tumor could not be ruled out, surgery was performed.
