    A 79-year-old woman who had an abdominal pain and vomiting admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of ileus. An ileus tube was inserted and the fluoroscopic study of the small intestine revealed narrowing of the two parts, jejunum and the ileum. Because no improvement was obtained by conservative treatment, an operation was performed. We observed that an appendix epiploica of the sigmoid colon extended long, and its tip was adherent to the retroperitoneum. The small intestine was impacted into the aperture formed by the band. Seventeen cases with intestinal obstruction due to an appendix epiploica have been reported in Japan, including this case.

    A 64-year-old woman who admitted because of abdominal pain and ascites. She was diagnosed as having systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus peritonitis based on anti ds-DNA antibody, ANA positive, serositis and renal dysfunction. She was successfully treated by intravenous pulse therapy with methylprednisolone, but her enteritis recurred after switching to oral administration. She recovered following pulse therapy with methylprednisolone and extracorporeal apheresis. This case was characterized by a rather old age of onset and the peculiar initial symptoms of peritonitis.

    A 72-year-old man was given a diagnosis of Crohn's disease in 1976 at age 44, and partial resection of is ileum was performed. In November 1982, barium enema examination revealed on ileorectal fistula. As he had no complaint, conservative therapy was chosen. In August 2003, he had high fever and CT scan revealed presacral abscess. Ileocecal resection, partial resection of is small intestine and loop sigmoid colostomy were performed. In December 2004, the serum level of CEA was gradually elevated and he complained of anal mucus discharge. Endoscopic examination showed a fistula orifice in the rectum and biopsy of the fistula revealed mucinous adenocarcinoma. We performed abdominoperineal resection of the rectum with partial resection of the sacrum. We thought that careful observation helped the detection of such a rare case of carcinoma arising from a fistula tract.

    A 77-year-old man, who underwent segmental pancreatectomy for intraductal papillary mucinous adenoma in 2001, was referred to our hospital with complaints of hematemesis and melena on January, 2004. Emergency upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a pulsating submucosal protrusion in the duodenal bulb, which was identified as a gastroduodenal arterial aneurysm measuring 1.5cm on abdominal CT imaging. Transcatheter arterial embolization of the aneurysm with metallic coils was successfully performed. Periodically repeated endoscopic examination has revealed the coils protruding into the duodenal lumen without any serious complication.

    A 30-years-old Japanese woman with a liver tumor was found to have congenital absence of the portal vein (CAPV). Both three-dimensional CT and angiography revealed that the superior mesenteric vein and splenic vein flowed into inferior vena cava and there was us portal vein, CAPV is an extremely rare congenital anomaly and liver tumor. Most cases on diagnosed in childhood, although this case was found in on adult. We reviewed the literature on reported CAPV cases.

    A 77-year-old woman was admitted suffering from fever and headache. On laboratory examination, bacterial meningitis and sepsis due to Klebsiella pneumoniae were diagnosed. In addition, a hepatic cystic lesion measuring 13 cm in diameter in the left lobe was indicated on diagnostic imaging. After treatment with antibiotics, her signs of infection improved and the hepatic lesion decreased in size. After discharge, however, the cystic liver mass increased and a gastric fistula developed. Hepatic and gastric resections were performed because of the possibility of biliary cystadenocarcinoma and gastric invasion. Pathologically, a pyogenic liver abscess complicated by gastric fistula was diagnosed.

    This report describes our experience with two cases of pyogenic spondylitis with chronic hepatitis C during combination therapy of interferon alfa and ribavirin. The first patient, a 59-year-old man, was treated conservatively and improved, but the second patient, a 69-year-old woman, was not improved by conservative therapy and reconstructive operation was performed. The combination therapy of interferon alfa and ribavirin has a high risk of severe infectious diseases as side effects. CT scan and MRI are recommended immediately to diagnose pyogenic spondylitis, when patients has pyrexia and lumbago with laboratory data suspected inflammation during interferon therapy.

    A 78-year-old woman was admitted complaining of edema of the bilateral lower extremities and face. Computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (US) of her abdomen revealed a pancreatic tumor and multiple liver metastases. After admission, hypokalemia and muscle weakness and edema of the bilateral lower extremities rapidly worsened. The diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome was established based on clinical and biochemical data and endocrine studies. We thought that the primary tumor was a pancreatic endocrine tumor based on the liver tumor biopsy findings, and that the pancreatic tumor and liver metastatic tumors were ectopic ACTH-producing tumors. A case of pancreatic endocrine tumor associated with Cushing's syndrome is relatively rare. We summarize previous reports.
