Phyllodes Tumor of the Breast Enlarged by Hemorrhagic Infarction: A Case Report.

Breast phyllodes tumors are rare mesenchymal tumors, often accompanied by internal cysts, hemorrhages, infarctions, and necrosis. The tumor exhibits rapid growth, especially when infarct necrosis occurs within the tumor. In the current report, we showed a woman in her 50s who noticed a rapidly growing breast mass and received an excisional biopsy diagnosis of a phyllodes tumor with hemorrhagic infarction.

Two resected cases of benign adenomyoepithelioma.

Background: Adenomyoepithelioma (AME) of the breast is an uncommon tumor characterized by the proliferation of ductal epithelial and myoepithelial cells with the heterogeneity. Although benign AME is relatively easy to differentiate from breast cancer by core needle biopsy (CNB) alone, a definitive diagnosis is often difficult. The imaging findings of AME are also variable, and there are particularly few reports about radiological features, including contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in AME.

[Ten-year survival of a patient with advanced gastric cancer with no. 16 lymph node metastases after total gastrectomy and paraaortic lymphadenectomy].

When no other non-curative treatment options are available, R0 resection can be achieved with paraaortic lymphadenectomy for patients with advanced gastric cancer with No.16 lymph node metastases. Herein, we report of a patient who underwent R0 resection for gastric cancer with No.

[A case of advanced gastric cancer with histological complete response after S-1 chemotherapy].

A 58-year-old man of unresectable gastric cancer was treated with S-1 (120 mg/body/day) after gastrojejunostomy. After 5 courses of orally administration of S-1 for 4 weeks and withdrawal for 2 weeks, partial response (PR) was obtained clinically and distal gastrectomy was performed. The histological diagnosis showed no residue of carcinoma with both HE and immunohistochemical staining.

[A case of long-term survival of recurrent gastric cancer successfully treated with multidisciplinary therapy].

A 73-year-old male patient underwent total gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer in December 2000. The final diagnosis was 1 MU, ant, type 3, 67x47 mm, pT2 (ss), pN1 (#1, 3, 4d), sP0, sH0, CY0, cM0, fStage II, tub 2, int, inf beta, ly3, v3, 2 L, post, type 2, 42x40 mm, pT2 (mp), pN1 (#1, 3, 4d), sP0, sH0, CY0, cM0, fStage II. Although we began adjuvant chemotherapy with UFT 300 mg/day, a solitary liver metastasis in the S6 sub-segment of the liver was diagnosed 15 months after the first operation.

Patent ductus venosus in children: a case report and review of the literature.

A 10-year-old girl with a patent ductus venosus associated with multiple autoimmune disorders presented with hypoxia, cyanosis of her lips, and exertional dyspnea. Ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography of the liver showed a communication between the portal vein and the inferior vena cava through a patent ductus venosus. Portography showed flow from the portal vein directly into the inferior vena cava via the portosystemic shunt.
