    A 70-year-old man presented with a 0-IIc lesion in the lower esophagus. He underwent esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The pathological diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma with small cell carcinoma. The patient received chemoradiotherapy after ESD, but this was interrupted because of myelosuppression. Follow-up endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) at 5 months after the ESD revealed paracardial lymph node swelling (17mm). He underwent EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA), and lymph node metastasis of small-cell-type endocrine cell carcinoma was diagnosed. He received VP-16 chemotherapy but died 22 months after the ESD.

    We report a case of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) of the stomach mimicking a primary tumor of the omentum minus. The tumor presented as an isolated mass in the omentum minus without any adhesion to the stomach. Microscopic examination revealed that the tumor pseudocapsule on the gastric side included a small smooth muscle tissue component. The patient was given a diagnosis of a gastric GIST that showed extensive extramural growth. GISTs should not be defined by the localization of the tumor.

    A 69-year-old man was admitted with right flank pain. The patient was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer with multiple metastases in the liver and abdominal lymph nodes and underwent chemotherapy. Three days following the initial administration of S-1 plus cisplatin, the patient developed tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) with increased LDH, hyperuricemia, hyperkalemia, and elevated creatinine. Although rare, TLS following chemotherapy for solid tumors is a potentially fatal complication, and high physician awareness is required, especially in patients with risk factors, such as bulky disease.

    We report a case of duodenal carcinoid tumor accompanied by liver metastasis and lymph node metastases in a patient with von Recklinghausen disease. A 48-year-old woman with von Recklinghausen disease was referred to our hospital because of a submucosal tumor at the ampulla of Vater detected by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The lesion was diagnosed as a carcinoid tumor based on the pathology of the biopsy specimen. At operation, although there were liver metastasis on the surface of S3 the liver and regional lymph node metastases, we selected pancreatoduodenectomy with lymph node dissection and enucleation of the liver metastasis. The postoperative course was good and the woman was discharged on postoperative day 33. No recurrence has been seen at 24 months since surgery.

    A 60-year-old man was diagnosed as pseudomembranous colitis with chief complaint of fever and abdominal distension after a cerebral operation. It was ineffective although vancomycin hydrochloride (VCM) was given orally. Complications occurred. The patient had toxic megacolon and paralytic ileus. VCM was administrated via an ileus tube. In addition, the bowel was lavaged and VCM was sprayed by colonoscopy. This therapy was very effective. Generally, a patient with pseudomembranous colitis concomitant with toxic megacolon or/and paralytic ileus is considered to have a poor prognosis, however, he completely recovered by a combination of medical treatment.

    An 84-year-old woman with hepatitis C virus-related cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and atrial fibrillation, who presented with hematemesis, was initially treated with endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) for an esophageal varix hemorrhage. However, computed tomography (CT) upon admission had revealed portal vein thrombosis, despite having received warfarin for existing atrial fibrillation. We subsequently initiated a 2-week treatment with danaparoid;warfarin being discontinued in order to reduce the risk of re-hemorrhage. A follow-up CT after treatment revealed complete reduction of the portal vein thrombosis. This is the first successful report of danaparoid use in the treatment of portal vein thrombosis that developed in a patient who had received warfarin.

    A 30-year-old man underwent a left lobectomy and S5/6 partial hepatectomy in August 2001 for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A lung tumor was detected by positron emission tomography (PET-CT) 8 years after the surgery. In May 2010, he received pulmonary tumor resection and the histopathological findings revealed metastasis of HCC. However a metastatic brain tumor was detected by computed tomography (CT) in September 2010, therefore surgery and radiation therapy were subsequently performed. Thereafter, metastatic hilar lymph node appeared in December 2010, therefore we performed systemic chemotherapy using S-1/cisplatin combined with radiation therapy for the metastatic tumor. The tumor was markedly decreased and no shadow was detected by PET-CT. He has been followed up in the outpatient clinic with no recurrence.

    We present a case of a 73-year-old man with multifocal autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) in the pancreatic head and tail, and who had undergone sigmoidectomy and rectectomy 28 months before presenting to our department. Upon presentation, his serum IgG4 level was elevated at 267mg/dl, but tumor marker levels were within normal ranges. CT and MRI showed two localized pancreatic masses with delayed enhancement, but endoscopic retrograde pancreatography revealed neither stenosis nor dilatation of the main pancreatic duct. FDG-PET examination showed intense uptake in regions concordant with both tumors. The possibility of atypical AIP was a concern, but malignant tumor could not be clinically or radiologically excluded. Endoscopic ultrasonographic fine-needle aspiration biopsy was performed, but no malignant cells were detected. The patient underwent subsequent distal pancreatectomy. Histological evaluation of the tumors showed the presence of many IgG4-positive plasma cells without any evidence of malignancy.
