A 43-year-old woman who underwent surgical resection of invasive ductal carcinoma in the left breast at the age of 37 years old presented at our hospital for evaluation of pancreatic tumor. The original tumor was estrogen receptor(ER)progesterone receptor(PgR)and HER2 positive. At that time, she underwent radical mastectomy with no evident nodal disease. Postoperatively, the patient was placed on adjuvant tamoxifen therapy for several years. Six years following the original diagnosis of breast cancer, she was referred to the hospital for routine check-up while asymptomatic. Follow-up examination showed a solitary hypodense mass approximately 0.9 cm in size in the pancreas body on dynamic CT scan. The patient underwent a standard distal pancreatectomy with standard regional lymphadenectomy. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical features revealed that the tumor was compatible with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma from breast cancer.A 69-year-old man underwent a Miles operation with D3 lymph node dissection for rectal cancer. The pathological diagnosis was adenocarcinoma(Rb, A, ly2, v3, N2M0P0H0, Stage Ⅲb). Adjuvant chemotherapy was added for 6 months after the rectal resection. Metastasis in the left lung was detected 1 year and 10 months after rectal resection for which large segmental resection was performed. Without the onset of any new lesions, the patient underwent subsequent follow-up examinations. Abdominal CT performed for increased tumor marker levels observed at 6 years and 8 months after rectal resection revealed a mass suggestive of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma for which distal pancreatectomy was performed. The pathological diagnosis was metastasis to the pancreas from the rectal cancer as the tumor cells were immunohistochemically negative for cytokeratin 7 and positive for cytokeratin 20. There has been no indication of recurrence for 13 months after the pancreatic surgery. Resectable pancreatic metastasis from colorectal cancer is rarely reported. However, pancreatic resection may result in long-term survival in some cases. Patients that tolerate pancreatectomy and have no metastasis in the other organs should be considered good candidates for pancreatic resection. We present this case with a review of the literature.Laparoscopy and endoscopy cooperative surgery(LECS)is a surgical technique to resect a tumor with minimal invasion, using both a laparoscope and endoscope. Twenty-eight surgeries for gastric submucosal tumors(SMT)were performed between 2009 and 2019. Seven of those cases were performed using LECS. Two male and 5 female patients underwent LECS; their mean age was 53 years. The tumors were located at the anterior wall of the fornix in 1 case, anterior wall of the subcardia in 2 cases, anterior wall of the upper gastric body in 3 cases, and anterior wall of the lower gastric body in 1 case. Two cases were intraductal growing types, and 5 cases were intramural growing types. No postoperative complications have occurred. The mean size of the tumors was 21.1 mm. In pathological findings, 5 cases were gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST); 1 case was high risk, 2 cases were low risk, and 1 case was very low risk as classified using the modified-Fletcher's classification. Imatinib was administered to the high risk case, and there have been no recurrences in any cases.After approximately 2.5 years of chemotherapy at the referred hospital, a 69-year-old man with double colon cancer and unresectable liver metastases(H3)sought consultation. A total of 8 liver metastases were deemed resectable; however, the disease was progressive. He received 2 courses of mFOLFOX6 plus Bmab before hepatectomy. Seven weeks after starting chemotherapy, Grade 4 thrombocytopenia occurred, which required platelet transfusion. Ten weeks after, curative parenchymal- preserving hepatectomy was performed under platelet transfusion. Hematologic examination including bone marrow aspiration showed no significant abnormalities, including normal megakaryocyte formation. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with thrombocytopenia due to sinusoidal obstruction syndrome associated with past chemotherapy including oxaliplatin. Partial splenic embolization(PSE)was performed 8 weeks after the first hepatectomy. The infarcted splenic ratio was 79.5%, and the infarcted splenic volume was 444.3 mL. Curative resection of the primary colorectal cancer and the 2nd hepatectomy for the newly developed recurrent liver lesions was successfully performed at 2 weeks and 19 weeks after PSE, respectively. Platelet transfusion was never required in the perioperative period of the 2 operations performed after the PSE. Forty-five months after the initial treatment, the patient is alive with no recurrent tumors and normal tumor marker levels.A 71-year-old man underwent right hemi-hepatectomyfor a hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)measuring 18 cm in diameter. The pathological diagnosis was poorlydifferentiated HCC. Ten months after the surgery, computed tomographyrevealed a nodule 12mm in diameter in the right lung as well as 2 nodules measuring 19 and 11mm in diameter in the retroperitoneum at the cranial aspect of the left kidney. Four months later, the nodule in the right lung had enlarged to 44 mm, while the 2 nodules in the retroperitoneum had enlarged to 68mm and 34 mm. These nodules were resected and histopathologicallydiagnosed as metastasis from HCC. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/cbr-470-1.html Twenty-one months after liver resection, computed tomographyrevealed nodules 16 and 25mm in diameter in the retroperitoneum around the urinarybladder and jejunum, respectively. One month later, intussusception resulted from the jejunal tumor. Laparoscopic surgerywas performed for both tumors, which were diagnosed as metastases from HCC. Twenty-five months after liver resection, metastasis from the HCC appeared in the left adrenal grand, at the site of the jejunal anastomosis, and in the fattytissue around the right scapula. Twenty-nine months after liver resection, the patient died of respiratoryfailure from multiple metastases in the left lung.In June 2018, a 75-year-old woman was admitted for right upper quadrant pain. She had a history of radical mastectomy for left breast cancer in April 2009. The axillary lymph node, bone, gastric, and pleural metastases had been treated with hormonal therapy for 2 years from April 2016. Based on the examination findings, we diagnosed her with acute calculous cholecystitis and performed emergency percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage(PTGBD). Eleven days after PTGBD, we performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Pathological examination revealed a metastatic tumor from breast cancer in her gallbladder. Although her postoperative course was uneventful, the patient died of progression of the other organ metastasis 7 months after cholecystectomy. Gallbladder metastasis should be considered in patients with advanced breast cancer who present symptoms of cholecystitis.
