We present a case of bilateral lymph node metastases of rectal cancer treated with chemotherapy and surgery. The patient was a 65-year-old man with upper rectal cancer. Laparoscopic low anterior resection(LAR)was performed. Pathological findings were tub2>por>muc, pT3, ly2, v3, pN2, pM0. Six months after surgery, the CEA level was elevated. CT and PET-CT confirmed bilateral metastasis to the lymph nodes. Five courses of FOLFOX4 plus bevacizumab were administered, and then, we performed laparoscopic bilateral lymph node dissection. Pathological assessments confirmed scarring and fibrosis, that is, a pathological complete response(pCR)was achieved. Two years and 6 months after surgery, no recurrence was detected. After chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy, we should perform surgery to prevent local recurrence, especially to the lateral lymph nodes.

Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV), also known as human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8), is the primary etiologic cause of Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and KSHV Inflammatory Cytokine Syndrome (KICS). Patients with KICS demonstrate symptoms of systemic inflammation, high KSHV viral load, elevation of inflammatory markers, and increased mortality. Management requires rapid diagnosis, treatment of underlying HIV, direct treatment of KS, and addressing the hyperimmune response.
