An endobronchial metastasis is defined as a subsegmental or a more proximal central bronchial metastasis of a nonpulmonary neoplasm in the bronchoscopically visible range. However, the frequencies of endobronchial metastasis range from 2 to 50% of pulmonary metastases from extrathoracic neoplasms by a different definition of an endobronchial metastasis. Primary neoplasms of an endobronchial metastasis including breast cancer, colon cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and ovarian cancer are relatively common. However, an endobronchial metastasis arising from thyroid cancer, parotid gland tumor, bone tumor, bladder cancer, and stomach cancer has only rarely been reported in the literature. Here we report a case of an endobrochial metastases from a hepatocellular carcinoma.

Primary lung cancer can metastasize by a direct local extension, hematogenous dessemination, and lymphatic spread. However, it less commonly metastasizes via a transbronchial invasion. Approximately half of all patients with lung cancer have metastases at the initial presentation. Autopsy data showed that there are an average of 4.8 metastatic sites. The most common sites for metastases include the lymph nodes, liver, adrenal gland, bone, and brain. However clinically significant metastases isolated in the small bowel seldom occur. Here we report a case of lung cancer with a small bowel metastasis.

The purpose of this study is to report a case in which neoplasm metastases of cervical vertebrae were found in lung cancer patient during inpatient treatment for neck pain. Pain assessment and physical examination including numeral rating scale, range of motion of neck, Spurling's test, cervical compression test were performed. As a result, C-spine series X-ray was taken under the judgement it is not a simple neck pain. Bone metastases were suspected as X-ray showed loss of C7 left pedicle, indistinct C7 left transverse process and indistinct C4 upper margin. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography were taken as further examination, and metastases of C4, C6, C7 were confirmed. The patient was transferred for professional treatment. In conclusion, this study shows the importance of appropriate diagnostic evaluation such as pain assessment and physical examination, and the need for diagnostic imaging in the treatment of patients with neoplasm history.

Renal cell carcinoma is the third most common metastatic tumor to the bone and soft tissues of the head and neck. The common sites of metastatic renal cell carcinoma in head and neck region are nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, oral mucosa, gingiva, tongue, palate, lip as the favored site. The present paper deals with one patient with metachronous oral tongue, nasal cavity and suspicious brain metastases after 2 years of renal cell carcinoma nephrectomy. Also, the patient had history of total thyroidectomy for thyroid follicular carcinoma. Total excision of nasal cavity and tongue mass were performed. Therapeutic aspects are briefly reviewed in literature.

$^{99m}Tc-Sulfur$ Colloid is concentrated in Kupffer cells of the liver, whereas the new biliary agents such as $^{99m}Tc-HIDA$ are processed by hepatic parenchymal cells. The distant metastatic lesiors in skull and lung of the primary hepatocellular carcinoma in 38-year old Korean male were detected with $^{99m}Tc-HIDA$ scintigraphy. The chest PA, skull bone X-ray and radionuclide scintigraphic studies are illustrated. This observation suggests that $^{99m}Tc-HIDA$ scintigraphy is useful for detection of distant metastases of primary hepatocellular carcinoma.

Bone scans with $^{99m}Tc$-MDP (methylene diphosphonate) was analysed in 112 patients with various type of biopsy proven malignant tumor who visited Seoul National University Hospital from March 1979 to August 1979. The results were as follows; 1. Of the 112 cases, bone scans were positive in 61 cases (54.1%), while only 27 cases (24.1%) were positive in roentgenogram. 2. Of the 61 cases with positive bone scan, bone metastases were found in 25 cases by roentgenogram. Of the 51 cases with negative bone scan, bone metastasis was found in only 1 case by roentgenogram. 3. In comparison of bone scan and roentgenogram by number of regions, 137 regions were positive in bone scan or roentgenogram. Of these, 46 regions (33.5%) were both bone scan and roentgenogram positive, 89 regions (65.0%) were bone scan positive roentgenogram negative, and 2 regions were bone scan negative roentgenogram positive. 4. Bone scan and roentgenographic findings had significant correlation with the presence of bone pain but no significant correlation with the elevated level of serum alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, Ca, and P. From above result, we found that bone scan was more sensitive than roentgenogram in early detection of bone metastasis in malignant tumors.

목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 골스캔이 없이 FDG PET/CT가 단독으로 척추골전이 평가에 사용될 경우 간과될 수 있는 척추골전이의 양상을 알아보기 위한 것이며 이와 더불어 척추골전이에서 FDG PET/CT와 골스캔간에 불일치 소견을 보이는 병소의 특징을 파악하고자 하는 것이었다. 대상 및 방법 : 척추골전이가 있는 43명의 환자군의 FDG PET/CT와 골스캔을 후향적으로 분석하였다. FDG PET/CT와 골스캔상 불일치하는 소견을 보인 병소를 주의깊게 분석하였다. FDG PET/CT 단독과 골스캔을 참조한 FDG PET/CT 결과들을 McNemar 검정을 이용하여 분석하였다. FDG PET/CT 단독분석상 간과된 척추골전이 병소의 특징을 알아보기 위하여 일방항카이스퀘어 검정을 시행하였다. 척추골전이 병소의 Tc-99m MDP 섭취와 연관이 있는 인자를 확인하기 위하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 독립변수는 위치(경추부, 흉추부, 요추부), 전이 병소 크기(큼, 작음), 및 최대 SUV로 설정하였으며, 종속변수는 골스캔의 섭취(양성 및 음성 MDP 섭취)로 하였다. 결과 FDG PET/CT 단독 분석의 결과는 FDG PET/CT와 골스캔을 함께 참조한 경우와 유의하게 달랐다(p<0.01). FDG PET/CT 단독 분석상에서 미만성조골전이는 유의하게 높은 빈도로 간과되는 경향이 있었다(p=0.04). 척추골전이의 Tc-99m MDP 섭취에 연관이 있는 인자를 확인하기 위한 단변량 로지스틱 회귀분석상 경추부 병소 및 작은 전이 병소는 음성 MDP 섭취와 관련이 있었으며, 흉추부 병소 및 큰 전이 병소는 양성 MDP 섭취와 연관이 있었다. 그러나, 다변량 로지스틱 회귀분석상 오직 전이 병소의 크기만이 양성 MDP 섭취와 연관이 있었다(p<0.01). 결론 : 골스캔은 척추골전이 평가에 있어 FDG PET/CT에 추가적인 역할을 하며, 특히 미만성조골전이에서 더욱 그러하다. 척추골전이 병소의 크기와 골스캔상 섭취가 연관이 있는 듯 하다.

Although significant advances in the treatment of intrahepatic lesions, it is reported that the prognosis for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have extrahepatic metastasis remains poor. We report a patient with lung, liver, brain, bone and subcutaneous metastasis from HCC who has survived more than 7 years maintaining relatively good performance status as a result of repeated therapies. A 55-year-old male patient with HCC underwent right lobectomy of the liver and cholecystectomy in September 2006. He received wedge resection for lung metastasis twice (July 2009, January 2011) and Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastasis (April 2011). Over the last 3 years, he has developed metastasis in subcutaneous tissues, muscle, and bone with pain. He has undergone 7 courses of radiotherapies for subcutaneous tissues, muscle, and bone metastasis and been prescribed sorafenib and he is still capable of all self-care.

Purpose: We analyzed 35 patients of malignant tumors of the foot and ankle to evaluate clinical manifestation. result of treatment and prognosis. Materials and Methods: Thirty five patients who were histologically confirmed for malignant tumors of the foot and ankle from September 1984 to May 1999 were investigated. Results: There were 16 males and 19 females. with an average age 38.3 years. Ten tumors were originated from bone and 25 from soft tissue; osteosarcoma (8) was the most common bone tumor and synovial sarcoma (8) and malignant melanoma (6) were common in soft tissue tumors. Surgical procedures included; marginal resection (2), limb salvage procedure after wide resection (5) for bone tumors, and amputation (12), wide resection (4), marginal resection (5) for soft tissue tumors. In some cases, perioperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy were given. There were 2 local recurrences and 11 metastases; 5 metastases were found at the time of initial diagnosis. Average follow-up was 3.5 years. Conclusion: We conclude that suspicion and early diagnosis are important in malignant tumors of the foot and ankle, and the resection margin must be obtained more thoroughly during surgery with perioperative adjuvant therapy, if necessary.
