    A 28-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with abdominal pain. Abdominal CT scan demonstrated a well-demarcated heterogeneous lipid tumor about 8cm in diameter anterior to the stomach. Abdominal ultrasonography (US) revealed a low echoic mass without enhancement of vascular images. We made a diagnosis of the lipoma, but not excluding the possibility of a liposarcoma, or the torsion of a tumor. We performed an operation to remove the tumor. Finally the tumor was diagnosed as a lipoma of the lesser omentum with torsion of the pedicle. This is the third reported case of torsion of a lipoma. In addition, this case is considered as the first such case of lipoma of the lesser omentum.

    We report a 67-year-old woman who had stiff shoulders and anemia. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a pedunclated nodular submucosal tumor with erosions and surface ulcers in the second portion of the duodenum. These endoscopic findings were thought to be characteristic of gangliocytic paraganglioma. CT scan revealed suspected lymph node metastasis, thus the tumor was resected with pancreaticoduodenectomy and was found to be a gangliocytic paraganglioma associated with lymph nodal metastasis. Due to the rarity of the disease there is no consensus regarding treatment. Although this tumor is considered benign, the possibility exists for regional lymph nodal spread. The treatment should be well planned with continuous careful evaluation.

    A 53-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for further examination of a rectal polypoid lesion. Colonoscopy revealed a submucosal tumor in the rectum (Ra) and a diagnosis of MALT lymphoma was made on the histological examination of the biopsy specimens and Southern blot analysis of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement. Although the patient was negative for Helicobacter pylori, H. pylori eradication therapy was performed. Colonoscopy 3 months after the eradication therapy showed disappearance of the rectal tumor. H. pylori eradication appears to be a useful treatment for not only H. pylori-positive colonic MALT lymphoma but H. pylori-negative colonic MALT lymphoma.

    An 18-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen and fever. Diagnostic imaging studies, namely, upper gastrointestinal roentogenography and endoscopy, were performed, and an oval cystic tumor was detected in the second part of the duodenum.
    On the basis of the characteristic findings of the imaging studies and blood tests, we established a definitive diagnosis of duodenal duplication complicated with acute pancreatitis, even before surgical exploration. On surgical examination, the main pancreatic duct appeared to communicate internally with the cystic lesion. The histopathological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the accuracy of the preoperative diagnosis.

    A 76-year-old woman was admitted to our institution because of high fever and erythema in the upper body with right back pain, and was given a diagnosis of Sweet's syndrome. She also had abdominal pain and developed hematochezia from the fourth hospitalization day. Double balloon enteroscopy detected multiple ulcers with a punched-out appearance at the terminal ileum. Endoscopic hemostasis of the ulcers was achieved using a hemoclip for treatment of a focal pulsating hemorrhage. After oral administration of prednisolone (PSL), both the ileal ulcer and erythema disappeared. The daily dosage of PSL was tapered. Since termination of PSL administration, there has been no recurrence of either Sweet's syndrome or ileal ulcer. We report a rare case of Sweet's syndrome complicated by bleeding ileal ulcers.

    A 29-year-old man was admitted with right hypochondralgia and fever. Markedly dilated bile ducts were observed, mainly in the right lobe of the liver. Based on both the clinical findings and imaging, we diagnosed Caroli's disease and choledochal cyst complicated with cholangitis. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was also observed in segment 3, and the tumor measured 4cm in diameter. The patient was successfully treated with hepatectomy of the right lobe, partial hepatectomy of the left lateral lobe, and bile duct reconstruction. A histopathological examination revealed moderately differentiated HCC without any components of cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCC). Although Caroli's disease is complicated with CCC, a case of Caroli's disease complicated with HCC, as in the present case, is quite rare and therefore is considered to be worthy of reporting.

    A 40-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of epigastralgia and vomiting. His condition was diagnosed as acute pancreatitis with a pancreatic pseudocyst, obstructive jaundice, and duodenal stenosis. Because he had fever, abdominal pain, and elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural cyst drainage (EUS-CD) was performed with a nasocystic tube on the 6th day. After the cyst was reduced and the patient recovered from the obstructive jaundice and duodenal stenosis, the nasal drainage tube was replaced with a plastic stent. Because a short extent of stenosis in the main pancreatic duct in the pancreatic head was found by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a 5Fr pancreatic stent was placed to prevent pancreatitis. No recurrence of pancreatitis and the cyst occurred after removal of both stents 5 days later.

    A 35-year-old woman who had visited an other hospital because of epigastralgia and anorexia was found to have a giant abdominal tumor, and was referred to our hospital. On admission, the abdomen was markedly distended. Abdominal CT scan and MRI showed the presence of a retroperitoneal tumor which occupied almost the entire abdominal cavity. She was operated a under a diagnosis of retroperitoneal liposarcoma. The tumor was located between the subphrenic space and the pelvic cavity, and was compressing the stomach, duodenum, pancreas and colon. Removal of the retroperitoneal tumor, including the right kidney, was performed. The resected tumor was 34×28×20cm, weighed 5.5kg and showed a variety of finding. The pathological diagnosis was a mixed type of retroperitoneal liposarcoma, consisting of well-differentiated type and myxoid type. We reported a case of giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma, with a review of the literature.
