ABSTRACT: A 74-year-old man was admitted to our hospital in order to treat a mediastinal mass and 2 ground-glass attenuations in the right upper lobe detected by chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT). Partial resection of right lung and thymectomy were performed. The mediastinal mass and 2 ground-glass attenuations in the right upper lobe proved to be thymoma and bronchioloalveolar carcinomas, respectively by pathology.

ABSTRACT: A 52-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray. Chest computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an anterior mediastinal tumor. The tumor was extirpated completely with combined partial resection of the left lung through a median sternotomy. Microscopically, the tumor was diagnosed thymic cancer, basaloid carcinoma. The patient was treated with combination chemotherapy and radiation, postoperatively. We reported a case of thymic carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: A 52-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray. Chest computed tomography scan and broncho-fiberscopic examination revealed a tumor at the left main bronchus. The tumor was removed completely by partial resection of the left main bronchus with thoracotomy. Historical finding of the resected specimen revealed a benign pleomorphic adenoma of the bronchus. The postoperative course was un-eventful for 9 years. We reported a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma of the bronchus.

ABSTRACT: Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the lung is rare. We present a case of MALT lymphoma of the lung. A 64-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray. He was performed transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) in our hospital, but the results was not diagnostic. We performed surgical biopsy using thoracoscopy due to the possibility of malignancy. The pathological diagnosis was MALT lymphoma. He underwent an chemotherapy after the operation and has been followed up at an outpatient for 8 years.

ABSTRACT: Small bowel metastasis from lung cancer is rare. We present 2 cases of small bowel metastasis from lung cancer. A 69-year-old man with postoperative lung cancer was admitted to our hospital because of the development of anemia secondary to melena A 56-year-old man with postoperative lung cancer was admitted to our hospital because of weight loss and fever. Both patients were operated on with suspicion of small intestine tumor after some examinations. The metastatic tumors were found in the small intestines. Resection of metastasis to the small bowel of lung cancer is benefical for better prognosis.

ABSTRACT: A rare case of paraesophageal hernia with complete intrathoracic incarceration of the stomach after laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is described. An 85-year-old woman who had undergone laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease presented 14 months later with nausea and vomiting. Esophagogastroendoscopy showed obstruction of the esophagogastric junction and gastric mucosal necrosis. Emergency laparotomy showed the stomach to be entirely strangulated into the thorax, with areas of necrosis. Gastrotomy was followed by resection of the necrotic anterior wall of the stomach, closure of the hiatus, and suturing of the stomach to the diaphragm. Appropriate closure of crura and anchoring suture between the stomach and diaphragm are helpful to prevent recurrent hernia after laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.

ABSTRACT: Laparoscopic low anterior resections using a triple stapling technique in five patients with rectal cancers (four Dukes A and one Dukes C) were performed. The location of the tumors was between 5 and 18 cm from the anal verge. For easy maneuverability, a 33-mm suprapubic port was used. In this technique, the Endo TA (the first stapler) is applied at the distal margin of the rectum to occlude the bowel. The bowel is irrigated with povidone-iodine solution and transected by an endolinear (the second) stapler. Anastomosis is completed by firing the circular (the third) stapler. The operative time was 177 +/- 28.0 minutes, estimated blood loss was 41.7 +/- 28.6 g, and flatus appeared 1.8 +/- 0.8 days after surgery. Follow-up studies have showed no local recurrence or distant metastasis. This procedure is safe and useful for performing laparoscopic low anterior resection.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of colon cancer with liver metastasis that had been treated previously by sigmoidectomy and partial hepatic segmentectomy. A 55-year-old woman presented with two asynchronous liver metastases, which were treated with percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy. However, evaluation by dynamic computed tomography one week later showed incomplete necrosis in at least one tumor. Surgical resection was subsequently performed and histopathological examination showed the presence of viable cancer cells in both tumors. We conclude that surgical resection is perhaps the best curative method of treatment of metastatic liver tumors of colorectal carcinomas and that dynamic computed tomography is not always accurate for evaluating the effect of microwave coagulation therapy.
