RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an effective treatment for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although RFA is a relatively safe technique compared with surgery, several complications have been reported to be following/accompanying this treatment. Delayed diaphragmatic hernia caused by RFA is rare; however, the best surgical approach for its treatment is uncertain. We present a case of laparoscopic repair of diaphragmatic hernia due to RFA. CASE SUMMARY: An 80-year-old woman with segment VIII HCC was treated twice in 5 years with RFA; 28 mo after the second RFA, the patient complained of right hypochondriac pain. Computed tomography revealed that the small intestine was incarcerated in the right thorax. The patient was diagnosed with diaphragmatic hernia and underwent laparoscopic repair by non-absorbable running sutures. The patient's postoperative course was favorable, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 12. The diaphragmatic hernia has not recurred 24 mo after surgery. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic treatment of iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia is effective and minimally invasive.

RESUMO

We herein report the case of a 65-year-old man who presented with an anaplastic carcinoma of the pancreas, producing granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). The patient's laboratory data showed an increase in his serum CA19-9 levels 1 year after he had undergone surgery for transverse colon cancer. Computed tomography (CT) showed a mass in the pancreatic head. Following a diagnosis of primary or metastatic pancreatic cancer, we performed the pancreatoduodenectomy. The postoperative course was uneventful. However, on postoperative day 28, he suffered a disturbance of consciousness and demonstrated hypercalcemia with elevated serum levels of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP). CT revealed multiple liver metastases and massive ascites. His serum Ca level decreased temporarily, and he subsequently died 58 days after the pancreatoduodenectomy. A pathological examination revealed pleomorphic-type anaplastic carcinoma of the pancreas. Immunohistochemical staining showed the tumor cells to be positive for G-CSF. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of G-CSF-producing anaplastic carcinoma of the pancreas associated with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Perforation of the abdominal esophagus caused by nasogastric tube (NGT) intubation has been rarely reported in adults. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 73-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with pneumonia. He had been bedridden long-term and had previously undergone a gastrectomy for gastric ulcer. Since admission was prolonged, and he required enteral feeding because of his inability to swallow, a NGT was inserted blindly. The next day, he had a high fever and abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography scan revealed that the tube was inserted through the wall of the abdominal esophagus into the abdominal cavity. In the emergency surgery, we sutured the perforated site of abdominal esophagus and patched it with lesser omentum. The postoperative course was good. DISCUSSION: Abdominal esophageal perforation due to NGT insertion is very rare. The cause of perforation was suggested to be an abnormal deformity created by adhesion due to previous distal gastrectomy and long-term bedridden status. A chest X-ray usually is performed to confirm the position of the NGT tube. In this case, a frontal radiographic view apparently showed the NGT placed in the stomach. CONCLUSION: When NGT is inserted to such patients, frontal and lateral radiographic views or fluoroscopic guidance should be obtained.

RESUMO

We herein report a 75-year-old woman who presented with an intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma(IPMC)who was treated with surgical resection 4 years after the initial diagnosis was made. She previously underwent a high anterior resection of the rectum for rectal cancer at 71 years of age. Preoperative CT revealed a multilocular cystic mass measuring 6 cm in size in the body of the pancreas, which was considered benign. We followed up the intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(IPMN) by using annual CT imaging for 4 years. CT revealed a gradual increase in the size of the mass and the development of an intramural nodule in the IPMN. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography revealed dilatations of the main pancreatic duct communicating with the multilocular cystic lesion. The cytology of the pancreatic juice demonstrated class III b. We therefore diagnosed the patient as having IPMC and performed total pancreatectomy. The postoperative course was uneventful without any recurrence. To our knowledge, only few reports have described the natural history of IPMNs. This resected case of IPMC is rare on the basis of our observation of the natural history of an IPMN using long-term imaging studies.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Giant inguinal hernia is unusual, and duodenal rupture accompanying it is particularly very rare and significantly hard to manage surgically. PRESENTATION OF CASE: An 81-year-old man was admitted to our institution with upper abdominal pain. He had tenderness of the upper mid abdomen and a bilateral large inguinal hernia but he did not have pain in the inguinal-scrotal area. Computed tomography (CT) showed slight dilatation of the small bowel and stomach. There were no remarkable signs of incarceration of the inguinal hernia. Therefore, he was admitted to the internal ward. On the second day in hospital, he suddenly went into shock. CT revealed that there was free air and ascites in the inguinal hernia and therefore an emergency operation was performed. The tranverse colon, ascending colon, and ileum were incarcerated, and perfolation of the cecum was found. We also detected duodenal rupture at the inferior duodenal angle. We resected the terminal ileal (almost 90cm) and ileocecal area, followed by side-to-side anastomosis of duodenum and jejunum. We only repaired the peritoneum at the internal hernia ring. After the operation, despite intensive-care therapy, this patient passed away on the 18th postoperative day. DISCUSSION: The mesocolon and third portion of the duodenum were strongly pulled down into giant inguinal hernia, probably causing the rupture of the inferior duodenal angle. CONCLUSION: Giant inguinal hernia possibly provokes duodenal rupture and therefore should definitively be repaired if feasible.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Obesity is a known risk factor for complications after digestive surgery. Body mass index (BMI) is commonly used as an index of obesity but does not always reflect the degree of obesity. Although some studies have shown that high visceral fat area (VFA) is associated with poor outcomes in digestive surgery, few have examined the relationship between VFA and total gastrectomy. In this study, we demonstrated that VFA is more useful than BMI in predicting complications after total gastrectomy. METHODS: Seventy-five patients who underwent total gastrectomy for gastric cancer were enrolled in this study; they were divided into two groups: a high-VFA group (n = 26, ≥100 cm(2)) and a low-VFA group (n = 49, <100 cm(2)). We retrospectively evaluated the preoperative characteristics and surgical outcomes of all patients and examined postoperative complications within 30 days of surgery (including cardiac complications, pneumonia, ileus, anastomotic leakage, pancreatic fistula, incisional surgical site infection [SSI], abdominal abscess, and hemorrhage). RESULTS: The incidence of anastomotic leakage (p = 0.03) and incisional SSI (p = 0.001) were higher in the high-VFA group than in the low-VFA group. No significant differences were observed in the other factors. We used univariate analysis to identify risk factors for anastomotic leakage and incisional SSI. Age and VFA were risk factors for anastomotic leakage, and BMI and VFA were risk factors for incisional SSI. A multivariate analysis including these factors found that only VFA was a predictor of anastomotic leakage (hazard ratio [HR] 4.62; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.02-21.02; p = 0.048) and incisional SSI (HR 4.32; 95 % CI 1.18-15.80; p = 0.027]. CONCLUSIONS: High VFA is more useful than BMI in predicting anastomotic leakage and SSI after total gastrectomy. Therefore, we should consider the VFA value during surgery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous perforation of the bile duct in adults is very rare, particularly in cases accompanied by retroperitoneal biloma. We report a patient with retroperitoneal biloma due to a spontaneous perforation of the left hepatic duct. CASE REPORT: An 82-year-old man was admitted to our institution with abdominal pain and a high fever. He had tenderness at the epi-mesogastrium. Computed tomography showed several stones in the gall bladder and common bile duct (CBD) and a few ascites. A substantial amount of fluid had collected from the dorsal stratum of the duodenum and pancreas head to the right paracolic gutter and anterior side of the right iliopsoas. Laboratory examination revealed a high inflammation score. He underwent emergent laparotomy. Biliary fluid was revealed after the mobilization of the pancreas head, duodenum, and right side of the colon. Bile duct perforation was suspected. Therefore, we exfoliated the dorsal side of the CBD to the cranial side, and intraoperative cholangiography was performed. However, the perforation site could not be detected. Cholecystectomy and choledocholithotomy were performed. A retrograde transhepatic biliary drainage tube was inserted, and primary closure of the CBD incision site was achieved. Postoperative cholangiography revealed leakage from the left hepatic duct near the caudate branch. CONCLUSIONS: There are a few reports of spontaneous bile duct perforation cases in the literature, particularly on infants or children with congenital anomalies, but it is rare in adults. It usually causes bile peritonitis, although bile duct perforation should be considered in the differential diagnosis of spontaneous retroperitoneal fluid collection in adults.

RESUMO

We report a case of far-advanced esophageal cancer in which induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy achieved complete remission. A 61-year-old female presented to our hospital with dyspnea and hoarseness. CT revealed a tumor at the cervical esophagus invading and narrowing the trachea, a bulky metastasis at the right paraesophageal node, and nodal metastases at levels II and III of the left neck. No finding indicated other distant metastases. According to findings of CT and endoscopy, she was diagnosed with unresectable cancer at the cervical esophagus(cT4bN1M1[LYM], according to UICC-TNM 7 th). After 2 courses of induction chemotherapy(DTX, CDDP, and 5-FU), the tumor's volume was remarkably reduced. Thereafter, chemoradiotherapy with CDDP, 5-FU, and 60 Gy/30 Fr was administered. After 7 months of systemic chemotherapy with paclitaxel following chemoradiotherapy, the patient was judged to have complete remission based on CT and endoscopic findings. After additional administration of S-1 for 5 months, systemic chemotherapy was ceased. The patient has survived without disease progression for 22 months following initiation of treatment. It is thought that induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy might improve local control and survival of patients with far-advanced esophageal cancers, such as our patient.

RESUMO

Phyllodes tumors are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms of the breast. In the literature, borderline or malignant tumors have been reported to present with unusual characteristics including a short clinical history and extremely rapid tumor growth. Skin necrosis and infection sometimes accompanies these malignancies. Giant phyllodes tumors have a good prognosis when treated with total mastectomy, but reconstruction of the chest wall has been a challenge because of the need for a wide-range excision. We report a case of a malignant phyllodes tumor that was initially diagnosed as borderline because sudden growth of the tumor contrarily induced sparse to moderate stroma cellularity in the sections of the tumor that were biopsied. Total mastectomy without axillary lymph node resection and chest wall reconstruction using a full-thickness mesh skin graft was performed. The patient has remained free from infection and recurrence for over a year since diagnosis.

RESUMO

A 74-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for a close examination. A gastrointestinal endoscopic examination revealed an advanced gastroesophageal junction cancer type 3, which was diagnosed as well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography(CT)showed liver and para-aortic lymph node metastases.She was treated with oral S-1 at 100mg/ day for 28 days, followed by a 14-day rest. After 3 courses of treatment, the primary tumor was greatly reduced. After 18 months of treatment, CT showed a complete response of the liver and also the para-aortic lymph node metastases. She is alive without severe adverse effects and recurrence 2.5 years after the start of S-1 administration.

RESUMO

Palladium(II) complexes of glycoconjugated porphyrin and pyrrolidine-fused chlorin were prepared to examine sugar and heavy atom effects on in vitro photocytotoxicity. Cellular uptake into HeLa cells was enhanced by introducing sugar units regardless of other features, such as the central ion (free base or palladium(II) ion) and the ring structure (porphyrin or chlorin). The palladium(II) complex of glycoconjugated pyrrolidine-fused chlorin (PdPC2) exerted an excellent degree of photocytotoxicity not only on HeLa cells, but also on metastatic B16-BL6 cells, weakly metastatic B16F1 cells, and metastatic 4T1 cells. However, free-base glycoconjugated pyrrolidine-fused chlorin (PC2) also exerted similar or much higher photocytotoxicity rather than PdPC2. Therefore, the palladium(II) ion did not improve the in vitro photocytotoxicity of PC2. The enhanced singlet oxygen generation of palladium(II) complexes (i.e., the heavy atom effect) was confirmed at least in O(2)-saturated D(2)O. In addition, the formation of hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical were also detected in O(2)-saturated phosphate buffered saline. However, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation efficiency, which is the product of the (relative) quantum yield of each ROS and the light absorbing ability, did not fit the trends of photocytotoxicity seen for the photosensitizers. In our glycoconjugated photosensitizers tested, the best indicator of the photocytotoxicity was found to be the light absorbing ability (namely, the oscillator strength in the wavelength region applied in the photocytotoxicity test). These results indicated that photochemical characteristics of glycoconjugated photosensitizers were notably susceptible to the microenvironment. The biological characteristics, such as the sugar effect, were a much more reliable approach to improving the photocytotoxicity of photosensitizers.

RESUMO

Primary cricopharyngeal dysfunction (PCD) is a rare idiopathic disorder of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), characterized by oropharyngeal dysphagia, frequent aspiration, and narrowing at the level of the UES. Cricopharyngeal myotomy (CPM) has been used to treat oropharyngeal dysphagia of different causes including anatomic, neuromuscular, iatrogenic, inflammatory, neoplastic, and idiopathic; however, the indications for CPM and predictors of its outcome are not clearly defined. We report a case of PCD with hypertonic UES caused by a structural abnormality localized in the cricopharyngeus muscle, visualized as a cricopharyngeal bar, which we treated successfully by CPM, achieving long-term relief.
