2개월동안의 연하곤란으로 입원한 56세남자 환자로 술전 원발성 식도 악성 흑색 종으로 판명되었으며 수술을 시행한 증례를 보고한다. 술전 식도내시경상 폴립(용종)양 종양이었으며 우측개흉술을 통해 식도 전절제술 및 위를 사용한 식도 재건술을 시행하였다. 종양은 술후 시행한 조직검사 및 면역조직화학검사상 원발성 식도 악성 흑색종이었다. 병리학적 병기는 IIa였고, 술후 다른 보조요법은 받지 않았다. 환자는 간전이에 의해 술후 8개월에 사망하였다.

We've reviewed 518 cases of claims by death that had occured for one year from April, 1983 to March, 1984. As a result, we came to following conclusions; First, the greater part of the death were due to Accidental death(19.1%), Heart disease(18.9%), Malignant neoplasm(17.4%), Liver cirrhosis(10.6%), and the Cerebrovascular disease(9.7%), which were occupied by 75.7% of the whole. Second, classifying them by medical examinations or non medical, death in case of non medical examination showed 89% of the whole. And for age, section ranging from 41 to 50, from 51 to 60 and from 31 to 40 took the overwhelming portion by 27.4%, 26.6%, and 17.4% respectively, those of which showed 71.4% of the whole. Third, for the period elapsed, death within 1 year from the entrance showed 31% and that from 1 year to under 2 years 20.5%. Thus the rate of early death under 2 years stood for 51.5% of the whole.

Intraperitoneal metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is uncommon. Although rare, it can spontaneously rupture and cause hemoperitoneum similar to primary HCC in the liver. We present a case of intraperitoneal metastatic HCC that had spontaneously ruptured and appeared as an irregularly margined hemorrhagic mass with T1 high and T2 dark signal intensities on magnetic resonance imaging. Ruptured HCC is a life-threatening emergency with high mortality rate. Spontaneously ruptured intraperitoneal metastatic HCC should be considered if a patient with a history of HCC presents with acute abdomen, although rare.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare, but are the most common mesenchymal neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract. The most common sites of metastasis are liver and peritoneum, while bone metastasis is rare. We report on a patient with skull metastasis after seven years of treatment with imatinib for metastatic GIST. She underwent metastasectomy consisting of craniectomy with excision of the mass, and cranioplasty and continued treatment with imatinib and sunitinib, without evidence of cranial recurrence. She died of pneumonia sepsis one year after metastasectomy. Skull metastasis of GIST is a very rare presentation, and an aggressive multidisciplinary approach should be considered whenever possible.

A 12-year-old neutered male Golden Retriever presented with a progressively enlarging mass in the submandibular region. Histopathological diagnosis confirmed lymphangiosarcoma with metastasis to the liver and spleen. The pleomorphic neoplastic endothelial cells of the tumor grow directly on bundles of dermal collagen, forming numerous clefts and interconnecting channels that are devoid of conspicuous hematic elements. As lymphangiosarcoma is an uncommon malignant neoplasm, the number of previously reported cases and information of the tumor is limited. The present report describes the clinical history and histopathological diagnosis of a progressive lymphangiosarcoma in the submandibular region with metastases in a dog.

담낭암은 진행된 상태에서 발견되었을 경우 예후가 매우 불량한 암으로 전신항암화학요법으로 치료를 하게 되나 일반적으로 고식적인 역할에 그치는 경우가 대부분이다. 본 증례는 원위부 림프절 전이가 있어서 수술적 절제가 불가능한 담낭암 환자에서 gemcitabine과 cisplatin을 병합한 전신항암화학요법으로 여섯 주기 치료 후 부분 관해를 얻어서 확대 담낭절제술이 가능하였던 증례로 매우 드문 증례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. 담낭암에서 수술 전 항암화학요법의 효과는 아직까지 확립되어 있지 않으나, 최근 양호한 종양 반응률과 종양 억제율을 보이는 항암화학요법이 개발됨에 따라서 그 가능성이 기대되고 있다.

Objectives : This study was designed to investigate the effect of Injinsammul-tang (IJS) on hepatocellular carcinogenesis in rats. Methods : Sprague Dawley (SD) rats of control and treatment groups received intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg/day diethylnitrosamine (DENA) weekly for 8 weeks. Experimental rats were classified into 3 groups; normal group (Nor), hepatic cancer induced control group (Con), and IJS extract 250 mg/kg administered group (IST) after being injected with DENA. Thereafter the changes of body weight, liver weight and weight of liver/100g body weight, the activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured. Gross anatomy and optical microscopy were also observed. Results : The body weight decreased in Con and IST compared with the Nor. The weight of liver and the weight of liver/100g body weight increased significantly in Con and IST compared with the Nor. The activities of AST, ALT, ALP, LDH increased in the Con compared with Nor, but decreased in IST compared with Con. The activities of SOD increased in the Con and IST compared with Nor. Upon naked eye and light microscopic examination, IJS improved the morphological and histopathological changes of liver caused by DENA-induced hepatic neoplasm. The number of hepatic p53 positive cells decreased in the IST compared with Con. Conclusions : Most of the results did not show a significant effect, but some of the results showed a significant effect. It can be estimated that IJS has some effects on hepatocellular carcinogenesis induced by DENA in rats, and further studies will be needed.

목적 항암 치료를 진행하는 위암 간전이 환자에서 종양의 길이를 이용한 반응 평가와 비교하여 종양의 부피를 이용한 반응 평가가 환자의 생존율을 더 잘 예측할 수 있는지 알아보는 연구이다. 대상과 방법 항암 치료를 진행하는 위암 간전이 환자 43명을 연구에 포함하였다. 간전이 종양의 부피를 정량적으로 계산한 기준과 Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 기준을 비교하였다. 카플란-마이어, 콕스비례위험 모형을 사용하여 일변량분석과 다변량분석을 통해 환자 생존율 및 연관된 인자를 알아보았다. 결과 저자들은 간전이 종양의 부피를 정량적으로 계산한 기준을 이용했을 때, 질환 반응군(23.6개월; 95% 신뢰구간, 8.63~38.57)과 질환 비반응군(7.6개월; 95% 신뢰구간, 3.78~11.42)간 생존율에 통계학적 유의한 차이를 확인하였다(p = 0.039). 질환 안정군과 질환 진행군을 부피를 이용한 반응 평가와 길이를 이용한 반응 평가로 구분할 경우 양군은 생존기간과 위험비에서 의미 있는 차이를 보였으나 두 반응 평가 방법 간 차이는 없었다(카플란-마이어 모형: p = 0.006; 콕스비례위험 모형: 위험비, 2.437, p = 0.008). 결론 항암 치료를 진행하는 위암 간전이 환자들에서 간전이의 부피 반응 평가는 환자들의 생존율을 예측하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있다.

Background: Primary liver cancer (PLC) is the fifth most common malignancy worldwide and is still associated with high mortality. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma are the two most common PLCs, and their incidence varies across regions. Currently there are no published data available on the incidence of PLC in Brunei Darussalam. Materials and Methods: All proven PLCs between 2000 and 2009 were identified from the National Cancer Registry and reviewed. Metastatic diseases were excluded. A total of 123 cases (male 65.8%, female 34.2%) were identified and their data collected for calculation of the age standardised rate (ASR). Results: The most common type of PLC was HCC (87.8%) followed by cholangiocarcinoma (10.6%). There were two cases of hepatoblastoma. The mean age at diagnosis was 63.2 years. The overall ASR of PLC was 8.2/100,000, increasing from 4.5/100,000 population in 2000 to 11.4/100,000 population in 2009. The rates were higher among males (12.0/100,000) than females (4.7/100,000). Among the ethnic groups, Chinese had the highest rates (overall 13.1/100,000 with none recorded in 2000 to 30.3/100,000 in 2009) compared to the Malays (overall 8.5/100,000 increasing from 4.5/100,000 in 2000 to 12.3/100,000 in 2009) and the indigenous groups. The incidence increased after the age of 50 and was highest among the 75-79 age groups. Increase was seen for HCC but not for cholangiocarcinoma. Conclusions: The most common type of PLC is HCC and the annual incidence of PLC is increasing in Brunei Darussalam,rates being higher in males and Chinese.
