[A case of advanced gastric cancer with liver metastases successfully treated by combination therapy of TS-1 and docetaxel].

The patient was a 70-year-old man who was diagnosed inoperable because of liver metastases of advanced gastric cancer and his respiratory dysfunction. He received docetaxel at the starting dose of 40 mg/m(2) by iv infusion over 1 hour on day 1 and TS-1 at the full dose of 80 mg/m(2) daily for two weeks every three weeks. After 6 cycles of this combination therapy, gastric cancer with liver metastases entirely disappeared.

Popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm caused by osteochondroma.

A 49-year-old man with asymptomatic osteochondroma was found to have a pseudoaneurysm of the left popliteal artery. An angiography showed a popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm adjacent to a femoral osteochondroma. The osteochondroma was excised and the popliteal artery containing the tear was also excised by end-to-end anastomosis.
