Résumé
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) accompanied by a risk to develop colorectal dysplasia and cancer. Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is strongly associated with UC and there are some distinguishing clinical features between UC patients with PSC (UC-PSC) and UC patients without PSC. The most important feature is that UC patients with concomitant PSC are at a significantly increased risk of developing colorectal dysplasia or cancer. Furthermore, it has been suggested that patients with UC and PSC are also at an increased risk of cholangiocarcinoma. We report a case of cholangiocarcinoma and colorectal cancer diagnosed simultaneously in a patient with UC and concurrent PSC. He was diagnosed with UC and PSC 13 years ago and had been treated irregularly. Surveillance colonoscopy and biopsies were performed and one of the biopsied specimen confirmed adenocarcinoma. He underwent abdominal computed tomography (CT) because of the abnormal liver function test and the CT showed cholangiocarcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of a UC-PSC with cholangiocarcinoma and colorectal cancer at the same time in Korea.

A 55-year-old man underwent a posterior decompression and fusion under general anesthesia. Near the end of the operation, the pressure waveform from the radial artery became flat, and his oxygen level could not be measured using pulse oximetry. Palpation of the carotid artery revealed no heart rate, and ventricular asystole was diagnosed. The patient was given cardiovascular drugs, but his hemodynamic status deteriorated, leading to severe hypotension, with sinus bradycardia, sinus tachycardia, sinus arrest, and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. The patient had hypothermia based on an axillary temperature of 31.9degrees C. After active warming, his cardiovascular status stabilized.

Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by facial skin lesions, epilepsy, and mental retardation. Pulmonary involvement in tuberous sclerosis is rare and shows characteristic reticulonodular infiltration and cystic changes. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis is characterized by the progressive proliferation of smooth muscle cells and occurs in 0.1-1% of patients with tuberous sclerosis. We encountered a case of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis associated with tuberous sclerosis and bilateral renal angiomyolipoma in a 31-year-old female patient. This case is reported here along with a brief review of the literature.

Obstructive jaundice associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an uncommon symptom caused by intraductal tumor growth, the migration of tumor necrosis, blood clots within the biliary tract, or compression of the biliary tract by the tumor. Most cases of icteric-type HCC involve a main tumor in the liver parenchyma. Bile duct HCC without a primary hepatic tumor is extremely rare, but because it shows similar clinical manifestations and imaging results to extrahepatic bile duct cancer, it is possible to misdiagnose this condition as a primary bile duct tumor or choldocholithiasis. Recently, we experienced a case of obstructive jaundice associated with an extrahepatic bile duct tumor in a 69-year-old woman. Upon radiologic studies and endoscopic cholangiography, the cause of obstructive jaundice was initially attributed to the bile duct tumor itself. However, subsequent analysis indicated that the condition was, in fact, due to bile duct thrombi associated with extrahepatic bile duct HCC.
