RESUMEN

Intestinal Behcet's disease (BD) often leads to severe complications, such as perforation or massive bleeding, and therefore is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality. As thalidomide has been identified and its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties clarified, this drug has been used in cases of systemic BD with some success. Herein we report a case series of four patients with intestinal BD to share our clinical experience with thalidomide treatment. We studied the effects of thalidomide in four patients who had a chronic relapse of intestinal BD requiring the frequent use of systemic steroids due to refractoriness to prior treatments, such as 5-aminosalycylic acid and immunosuppressants. Pre- and post-treatment clinical and laboratory data, including clinical symptoms, laboratory data, disease activity index for intestinal BD, and thalidomide toxicity were recorded. Three of the four patients had a clinical and radiologic improvement after thalidomide treatment and all of the patients discontinued steroid therapy. Although two patients tolerated thalidomide, two patients could not continue the treatment because they suffered from edema and neutropenia. Thalidomide could be considered a therapeutic option for the treatment of intestinal BD.

RESUMEN

Esophageal small cell carcinoma is a very rare disease. Primary extra-pulmonary small cell carcinoma was reported to account for 4% of primary small cell carcinoma and only 2% of all esophageal malignancy. Because the rate of early distant metastasis is very high, the prognosis is very poor. In Korea, 20 cases were reported. Seventeen cases were located at the mid or lower esophagus and 3 cases were located at the upper esophagus. We have experienced a case of primary upper esophageal small cell cancer, a 65-year-old female with cervical lymph node metastasis, which were diagnosed by endoscopy, open surgical lymph node biopsy and immunohistochemical analysis.
