RESUMEN
A 78 year-old man was diagnosed as a pancreatic cancer in department of gastroenterology in our hospital. Enhanced computed tomography demonstrated an aberrant right hepatic artery(ARHA)arising from superior mesenteric artery(SMA). We conducted sub-stomach preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy(SSPPD- II A-1). As the preoperative diagnosis, right hepatic artery(RHA)was arising from SMA and running through the tumor, and we resected the ARHA with the tumor and reconstructed RHA to gastroduodenal artery(GDA). Pathological diagnosis was non invasive tumor with neither lymph node metastasis nor invasion of the vasculature. We report a case of the patient underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with reconstruction of aberrant right hepatic artery.

A 76-year-old woman with bloody stool visited a nearby hospital. Colonoscopy showed a type 1 tumor in the rectum, and the biopsy indicated moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. She was referred to our hospital. Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT did not show swollen lymph nodes in the regional nodes or distant metastases. Laparoscopic lower anterior resection was performed. Histopathological examination indicated pT1b, pN3, ly3, and v1, fStage III b, which had a partial invasive micropapillary carcinoma(IMPC)component of papillary adenocarcinoma. Although she received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, she died of a thromboembolism with paraneoplastic syndrome 20 months after the operation. IMPC has a high incidence of lymphatic invasion and lymph node metastases. IMPC is rare in cases of colorectal cancer and it is important to accumulate and investigate colorectal cancer patients with IMPC.

We performed abdomino-perineal-resection(APR)on 2 cases of anorectal malignant melanoma. The first case was a 70- year-old woman suffering from bloody stool. Colonoscopy showed a black tumor in the rectum. Biopsy revealed a malignant melanoma. A CT scan showed multiple lung metastases and liver metastasis. She underwent surgery for the purpose of bleeding control, but died shortly thereafter because her liver and lung metastases had worsened. The second case was a 43- years-old man suffering from bloody stool. He had a black type 3 tumor in the rectum. A biopsy revealed malignant melanoma. A CT scan showed lateral lymph node swelling. He underwent APR with right side-lateral dissection. An established treatment for anorectal malignant melanoma has not been agreed upon and it is controversial. We experienced 2 cases that underwent surgery and we report them along with relevant information from the literature.

A 73 year-old woman who was treated for breast cancer and visited our hospital regularly was suspected of having a mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix. Malignancy could not be determined using abdominal computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or colonoscopy. Even if mucinous cystadenoma is benign, there is the possibility that the tumor will rupture, discharge its contents, and cause pseudomyxoma peritonei. We performed laparoscopic appendectomy. According to the histopathological results, the tumor was diagnosed as a low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm. We report a case of mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix treated using laparoscopy-assisted appendectomy and discuss the case with literature reviews.

We report the case of a 71-year-old woman suffering from advanced sigmoid colon cancer with Virchow's and para- aortic lymph node metastasis. Sigmoidectomy was performed for sigmoid colon cancer in January 2008, and pathological analysis revealed that it was Stage II(pT3, pN0, pM0, Cur A). The patient received capecitabine regimen as adjuvant chemotherapy from February 2008 to July 2008. However, in August 2008, a left cervical mass was detected associated with swelling, which was partially resected. Microscopic findings revealed lymph node metastasis from sigmoid colon cancer, and Virchow's and para-aortic lymph node metastasis were diagnosed. Therapy with FOLFOX and bevacizumab (Bmab) was started and continued for 8 cycles. Virchow's and para-aortic lymph node metastasis could no longer be detected in June 2009. FOLFOX+Bmab treatment was administered for 33 cycles and oxaliplatin was temporarily stopped due to adverse reactions, including neutropenia, peripheral neuropathy, and appetite loss. She had no recurrence for almost 3 years after stopping chemotherapy for Virchow's and para-aortic lymph node metastasis.
