    A 59-year-old woman was initially thought to have either type A gastritis, or autoimmune gastritis by upper-gastrointestinal-tract endoscopy and a serological examination. Furthermore, the patient was also suspected to have Hashimoto disease based on a positive antithyroid-antibody test. Rheumatoid arthritis was diagnosed 1 year later. Pernicious anemia, gastric-carcinoid and stomach cancer are the primary complications of A type gastritis. However, we hypothesized that the development of other autoimmune diseases, such as autoimmune thyroid disease, was the primary complication experienced in this case. Therefore, we report the findings of this case while taking into consideration the findings of several other previously published studies.

    We present 3 patients with Crohn disease (CD) of the duodenum with progressive symptoms. A 31-year-old man with Crohn ileocolitis presented epigastralgia. A 32-year-old man with Crohn ileocolitis presented upper GI bleeding. In both patients, endoscopy revealed duodenal stenosis. A 33-year-old man was given a diagnosis of CD by gastroduodenal endoscopy. They received an infliximab infusion and had symptomatic relief and macroscopic healings without any adverse effects. Several treatments for upper GI lesions of the CD patients have been tried, but there is no high-quality level evidence-based data to guide the medical management of gastroduodenal CD. Our experience with 3 patients suggests that infliximab is a safe and effective treatment for duodenal CD and it may be appropriate for early use to avoid surgery or balloon dilatation.

    A 73-year-old man was admitted with bloody stool. Duodenoscopy showed a hemorrhagic ulceration in the duodenum on the side opposite to the papilla of Vater. Abdominal CT demonstrated a well-defined hypervascular mass, adjacent to the lesion of the duodenum. Although as duodenal GIST was diagnosed, histologic examination for frozen sections during the procedure revealed tubular adenocarcinoma of the duodenum and pancreaticoduodenal lymph node metastasis of neuroendocrine carcinoma. He underwent a subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. Clinicopathologically, the neuroendocrine carcinoma of the pancreaticoduodenal lymph node was considered to be metastasis from an unknown primary lesion.

  • A case of visceral varicella-zoster virus infection after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in which severe abdominal pain preceded the skin rash

    We report a 54-year-old man who developed visceral varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (auto-PBSCT) without using immunosuppressive agents for multiple myeloma. He suffered from severe abdominal pain 2 months after auto-PBSCT, and morphine chloride was needed to control it. Since the characteristic skin rash of VZV infection appeared over his entire body on the seventh hospital day, aciclovir was immediately started with favorable results. It is extremely difficult to diagnose VZV infection when severe abdominal pain proceeds and the eruptions characteristic of VZV infections are absent. This may also result in devastating delays in effective antiviral treatment. The increase in fat density around the celiac trunk and the root of the superior mesenteric artery on computed tomography shown in this case may has contributed to the correct diagnosis of visceral VZV infection.

    The patient was a 55-year-old man with a large hepatic tumor measuring 12×12cm in the left lobe. To obtain the histological diagnosis, the target liver biopsy was performed. Histologically, the tumor revealed as a neuroendocrine carcinoma. After the diagnosis, he received the chemotherapy (CTX) with etoposide and cisplatin. Serum levels of NSE and the tumor size were decreased after the first course of CTX. We here report a case of primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinoma treated with CTX following the diagnosis by the needle biopsy.

    A 73-year-old man with liver cirrhosis type C, who was diagnosed as having hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), underwent left lobectomy in March 2005. Two years later, intrahepatic recurrence was found, and he was treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization as well as hepatic arterial infusion. In July 2007, he complained of a painless mass over the right abdomen and demonstrated an elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein level. Computed tomography demonstrated a 3.0cm lesion in the rectus muscle of the abdomen, which was histologically diagnosed as an intramuscular metastasis of HCC. Because there was no history of percutaneous abdominal procedures in this patient, it was suggested that this tumor had hematogeneously metastasized to the rectus muscle of the abdomen.

    A 72-year-old woman presented with epigastric discomfort. A low density tumor was found in the hilum and left liver by CT. Since she complained epigastralgia, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed, showing an ulcer in the duodenal bulb, with poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma seen on a biopsy specimen from the edge of the ulcer. After admission, poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma cells were also obtained with ultrasound guided aspiration cytology of the liver tumor. We diagnosed intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHC), and treated with gemcitabine. During chemotherapy, the duodenal ulcer became a fistula, and the liver tumor diminished with bubbles inside it. It was suggested that liquid material of IHC, such as necrotic tissue and mucin, drained to the duodenal bulb during chemotherapy.

    von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome is an inherited neoplastic syndrome caused by abnormity of the VHL gene found on the short arm of the chromosome 3. We reported a case of VHL disease diagnosed by the detection of multiple pancreatic endocrine tumors and renal tumor 13 years after bilateral adrenalectomy. A 40-year-old man presented with multiple pancreas tumors (maximum size 42mm in diameter) detected by screening abdominal ultrasonography. A 23mm renal tumor was detected by contrast computed tomography scan at that time. His past history included left retinal angioma (age 15) and bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma (age 27). VHL was diagnosed by genetic testing. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the pancreas tumor was performed, and tumor was diagnosed as an endocrine tumor. After diagnosis, distal pancreatectomy (body-tail) was performed. This was a didactic case indicating that we should suspect VHL syndrome based on past history and family history and follow such cases up strictly.
