  • 11 year old male Yorkshire terrier was referred to Haemaru Referral Animal Hospital with signs of hematuria, petechia, and gynecomastia. Blood works revealed severe leukopenia, moderate anemia and severe thrombocytopenia. On ultrasonography and radiography, mixed echo texture mass was found in abdomen. The abdominal mass was surgically removed, and submitted for histopathology. Histopathologic features of the tissues were consistent with malignant Sertoli cell tumor. Bone marrow aspirates were hypocellular. Serum estrogen concentration was 72.80 pg/ml (normal range for females <15 pg/ml) after surgery. Clinical signs of feminization and hemorrhagic diathesis were attributed to hyperestrinism caused by the tumor. The dog was put on fluid therapy, antibiotics and palliative drugs and survived 2 more weeks after surgery without clinical improvement.

  • Tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that is commonly used to treat upper airway obstruction. In particular, patients with head and neck cancer may require elective or emergency tracheostomy because of airway obstruction due to massive bleeding of the intraoral tumor mass and rapid growth of the tumor mass in the neck area. Here, we report four cases of tracheostomy in patients with head and neck cancer with narrowed airway space and difficulty in breathing. Based on these cases and a literature review, we recommend that oral and maxillofacial surgeons and dental anesthesiologists should cooperate closely and determine the appropriate timing to perform definitive airway management for such patients during palliative treatment, along with continuous evaluation of tumor location, risk of recurrence, and airway involvement.

  • 목적: 위암에 의한 위출구 폐쇄는 다양한 소화기 증상과 영양 실조를 야기하며, 따라서 삶의 질을 떨어뜨리고 생명을 단축시킨다. 이처럼 위날문부 폐쇄 환자에게 시행하는 스텐트삽입 시술은 위 공장 우회술에 비교하여 덜 침습적이고 효과적인 시술로 알려져 있다. 그러나, 위암에서의 스텐트 시술의 효과와 위공장 우회술의 효과에 대한 비교연구는 찾아볼 수 없다. 대상 및 방법: 2000년 1월부터 2006년 8월까지 고신대학교 복음병원에서 내시경 및 위장관 조영술을 이용하여 위암으로 인한 위 날문부 폐쇄를 진단 받고, 위 날문부 스텐트 삽입시술을 받은 환자군과 위공장 우회술을 받은 환자군 간의 데이터 통계를 1개월에서 46개월까지 추적 관찰한 외래 차트를 바탕으로 후향적으로 비교하였다. 이 중 위암의 재발로 인해 시술을 받은 환자와 이중암(double cancer)으로 진단을 받은 환자는 제외하였다. 결과: 100명의 환자가 스텐트 삽입을 시행받았고, 31명의 환자가 위 공장 우회술을 시행받았다. 두 그룹 간 남녀 성별 비는 통계적인 의미가 없었으나(스텐트 M : F 2 : 1, 우회술 M : F 2 : 1, P=0.637) 연령은 스텐트군은 $67{\pm}10$, 우회술군은 $57{\pm}10$ (P<0.001)으로 통계적인 의미가 있었다. 스텐트 삽입군에서 수술을 못한 이유는 60%의 경우 암진행, 34%의 경우는 고령, 6%의 경우는 동반질환의 중중도에 의하였고, 스텐트 시술 후 가장 gms한 합병증은 스텐트내 종양성장, 다음으로 스텐트 이동이었고 시술의 실패는 3%였다. 두 군 간 시술 후 유동식까지 걸린 시간은 스텐트군 $3{\pm}2$ (일), 우회술군은 $6{\pm}2$ (일)(P=0.003) 그리고 시술 후 입원기간은 스텐트군 $5{\pm}2$ (일), 우회술군 $15{\pm}6$ (일)(P<0.001)로 모두 통계적으로 유의한 결과가 나왔다. 결론: 위암의 날문부 폐쇄 환자에게 시행한 자가팽창 금속성 스텐트 시술은 위장 우회술에 비하여 빠른 식 사진행과 짧은 입원기간으로 효과적인 시술일 수 있지만, 스텐트가 움직이거나 종양의 재성장으로 인해 스텐트를 다시 시술해야하근 불편함이 있는 등 스텐트로 인한 환자의 불편함이 많아서 향후 더욱 많은 연구가 필요할 것이다.

  • Aims: To determine the clinical characteristics, pathological features, local and distant failure patterns in patients with carcinoma of major salivary glands treated with surgery and postoperative radiotherapy (PORT). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 106 cases of major salivary gland tumor seen at our centre (1998-2008). Sixty five cases of major salivary gland carcinoma were selected for analysis (exclusions: benign, palliative, non-carcinomas). The patient population treated by surgery and PORT was divided into two groups: 1) Patients who underwent surgery and immediate PORT (Primary PORT); 2) Patients with recurrent carcinoma who underwent at least two surgeries and received PORT in the immediate post-operative period of the last performed surgery (Recurrent PORT). Recurrence free survival (RFS) was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Median age was 35 years with a male: female ratio of 1.3:1. The majority of cancers were located in the parotid gland (86.2%) and the most common histology was mucoepidermoid carcinoma (43%). Thirty nine cases (60%) were primary while 26 (40%) were recurrent. Optimal surgery was performed in 59/65 patients (90.8%). 43 patients (66.2%) underwent neck dissection, of which 14 (32.5%) had nodal metastasis. Overall, 61 (93.8%) patients complied with the prescribed radiotherapy. Median dose of PORT was 60 Gy. Median follow-up was 13.1 months (range 2-70). Relapse free survival was 50.4% at 60 months. Some 12 cases (18.5%) recurred with a median time to recurrence of 16.9 months. Conclusions: Surgery and PORT is an effective treatment for major salivary gland carcinoma with over 90% compliance and <20% recurrence. Early treatment with postoperative radiotherapy may increase the survival rate in major salivary gland carcinoma patients.

  • 광역동치료는 흉부외과 영역에서 조기 식도암, 기관 및 기관지 종양, 위장관 점막 내 종양 및 바레트식도 등에서 광감작물질의 광파장 및 광선의 암세포에 대한 선택적이고 직접적인 독성 효과를 이용한 비수술적 치료로 안전하고 효과가 있으며, 기타 진행된 폐암이나 식도암에서 보존적 요법으로도 이용될 수 있다고 여겨지고 있다. 그러나 광역동치료 후 광독성에 의한 피부 독성이 흔하여, 직사 광선의 차단 및 약물 요법이 병행되어야 한다. 저자들은 식도암 수술 후 흘곽 내에 거치된 위장에 발생한 원발성 위암에 대한 광역동치료(Photodynamic tharapy)로 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 문헌 고찰과 함께보고하고자 한다.

  • This study is limited to epidermoid carcinoma arising in the larynx. The 623 patients in this series comprised 1.6% of all malignant neoplasms seen during the 20-year period .from 1965 to 1984 ; it comprised 13.2% of all cancers of the head and neck registered during this period. The male: female ratio was 11:1, and the highest incidence was in the fifth decade of life. Analysis by anatomical site revealed that 51.7% were supraglottic, 36.1% glottic, and 6.8% subglottic in oriain. One-hundred eighty-nine(79%) were clinically Stage III or Stage IV lesions at the time of the first visit. Of the total of 263 cases, 113 refused treatment, 4 definite radiation for $T_1$. lesion,21 underwent palliative therapy only, and 125 underwent surgical management with intent to cure. This surgical category included 53 patients who had surgical treatment only and 72 who underwent combined therapy(preoperative radiation, postoperative radiation, or inductive chemotherapy followed by surgery and postoperative radiation). The surgical management varied from partial laryngectomy to widefield laryngectomy and ipsilateral neck dissection. In 14.4% pathologically positive node or nodes were found in the clinically negative contralateral neck nedes. Such contralateral spread was most common in supraglottic site of origin(222%). Combined modality of management was compared to single therapy. Although results at three years showed no difference in determinate disease-free survival between patients treated by surgery only and those treated by surgery followed by postoperative radiation therapy at 5 years a statistically significant difference emerged, only 36% of those receiving surgery alone surviving as compared to 65.4% in the surgery with radiation group.

  • Objective : There is a lack of knowledge regarding whether decompression is necessary in treating patients with epidural spinal cord compression (ESCC) grade 2. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) without decompression and conventional open surgery (palliative laminectomy) for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) spinal metastasis of ESCC grade 2. Methods : Patients with HCC spinal metastasis requiring surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with ESCC grade 2, medically intractable mechanical back pain, a Nurick grade better than 3, 3-6 months of life expectancy, Tomita score ${\geq}5$, and Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score ${\geq}7$ were included. Patients with neurological deficits, other systemic illnesses and less than 1 month of life expectancy were excluded. Thirty patients were included in the study, including 17 in the open surgery group (until 2008) and 13 in the MIS group (since 2009). Results : The MIS group had a significantly shorter operative time ($94.2{\pm}48.2minutes$ vs. $162.9{\pm}52.3minutes$, p=0.001), less blood loss ($140.0{\pm}182.9mL$ vs. $1534.4{\pm}1484.2mL$, p=0.002), and less post-operative intensive care unit transfer (one patient vs. eight patients, p=0.042) than the open surgery group. The visual analogue scale for back pain at 3 months post-operation was significantly improved in the MIS group than in the open surgery group ($3.0{\pm}1.2$ vs. $4.3{\pm}1.2$, p=0.042). The MIS group had longer ambulation time ($183{\pm}33days$ vs. $166{\pm}36days$) and survival time ($216{\pm}38days$ vs. $204{\pm}43days$) than the open surgery group without significant difference (p=0.814 and 0.959, respectively). Conclusion : MIS without decompression would be a good choice for patients with HCC spinal metastasis of ESCC grade 2, especially those with limited prognosis, mechanical instability and no neurologic deficit.

  • Backgrounds/Aims: The present study looked at the role of radical surgery in gallbladder cancers (GBC) with limited metastatic disease. Methods: The retrospective observational study was conducted to screen the database from 1st January 2010 to 31st December 2019. Patients of GBC found to have low-volume metastatic disease upon surgical exploration were included. Results: Of the 1,040 patients operated for GBC, 234 patients had low-volume metastatic disease (microscopic disease in station 16b1 node or N2 disease isolated port-site metastases, or low burden peritoneal disease with deposits less than 1 cm, in adjacent omentum or adjacent diaphragm or Morrison's pouch or a solitary discontinuous liver metastasis in adjacent liver parenchyma) detected intraoperative. Of these, 62 patients underwent radical surgery for R-0 metastatic disease followed by systemic therapy, while the remaining 172 patients did not undergo radical surgery and were given palliative systemic chemotherapy. Patients who underwent radical surgery had significantly superior overall survival (19 months versus 12 months, p < 0.01) and superior progression-free survival (10 months versus 5 months, p < 0.01) when compared to the rest. This difference in survival was more significant amongst patients when operated on after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Regression analysis showed that a sub-group of patients with incidental GBC with limited metastases showed more favorable outcomes with radical surgery. Conclusions: Authors suggest a possible role for radical treatment of advanced GBC with a limited metastatic burden. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be used for preferentially selecting patients of favorable disease biology for curative treatment.

  • 저체중은 많은 심기형의 수술에 있어 위험인자로 알려져 있다. 이에 저체중 출생환아에 있어서의 동맥관 개존증을 제외한 여러 심기형에 대한 외과적 치료의 결과를 조사하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1994년 9월부터 2002년 2월까지 31명의 저체중 출생아를 대상으로 하였다. 심폐기를 이용한 개심술 환아(OHS군)가 12명, 비개심술환아(CHS군)가 19명이었다. 이들 환아에 대하여 술 후 중단기 성적을 알아보기 위해 환아의 병력지를 기초로 후향적 조사를 시행하였다. 태내주수는 36.9주(32.3∼42 주)였고 수술당시 평균 나이는 32.1일(0∼87 일), 출생시 체중은 1972g(1100∼2500g), 수술시 체중은 2105g(1450∼2500g)으로 OHS군과 CHS군에 차이가 없었다. 심기형은 OHS군에서는 심실중격결손증(VSD) (n=3), VSD와 대동맥궁이상(n=2), 총폐정맥환류이상(n=2), 대혈관전위증(n=2), 동맥간증(truncus arteriosus)(n=2), 삼심방증을 동반한 단심실증(n=1) 등이었고 CHS군은 대동맥축착증(n=7), 활로 4징증(n=3),활로 4징증 및 폐동맥폐쇄증(n=3), 다발성 근성 심실중격결손(n=1), 양대혈관 우심실기시증(n=1), 온전한 심실중격이 폐동맥판폐쇄증(n=2), 삼첨판폐쇄증(n=1), 대혈관전위증 및 다발성 심실중격결손(n=1) 등이었다. 13명(41.9%)의 환아에서 술 전 인공호흡이 필요하였다. 결과: 전체적으로 4례의 조기사망(30일 이내)이 발생하였다. OHS군에서 1례(8.3%), CHS군에서는 3례(15.8%)였다. 이 조기사망의 모든 예가 폐동맥교약술을 한 환아였고 완전교정이 가능하였던 환아나 폐동맥교약술을 제외한 고식적 수술에서는 수술사망이 없었다. 지연흉골봉합이 3례에서 필요하였고 술 후 7일 이상 장기간 인공호흡이 필요하였던 경우가 OHS군과 CHS 군에서 각각 7례로 58.3%, 38.8%의 빈도였다. 만기사망이 3례 발생하였는데 이 중 2례는 심장과 관련이 없는 사망이었다. OHS군 1명에서 술 후 뇌합병증이 발견되었다. 2명을 제외한 모든 생존자에서 현재 NYHA class I의 상태로 성장하고 있다. 결론: 저체중 출생 환아에서의 심기형은 완전교정술이 가능한 경우와 폐동맥교약술을 제외한 고식적 수술이 필요한 경우 낮은 수술사망률로 교정될 수 있었으며 중기성적도 양호하였다. 그러나 술 후 비교적 높은 빈도에서 장기간의 인공호흡이 필요하였다.
