Spontaneous regression or remission of cancers has been defined as the disappearance of the malignancies without any treatment
or with obviously inadequate treatment. Spontaneous regression is rare, while any case with a small cell carcinoma in the
esophagus was not found in the literature. We experienced a 73-year-old man with small-cell carcinoma in the thoracic esophagus
whom underwent esophagectomy with lymphadenectomy. A pathological examination of the resected specimens found metastasis from
the small cell carcinoma in the mediastinal lymph nodes, but no malignant cells in the esophageal lesion—an ulcer scar from
which the biopsy specimen was taken to be a small-cell carcinoma. This may be the first case report that spontaneous regression
in a small-cell carcinoma in the esophagus was found by esophagectomy and pathological examination. 相似文献

Because long survival after resection of esophageal carcinoma is uncommon, second esophageal cancers are rare. We report the case of a patient in whom adenocarcinoma developed within residual Barrett’s esophagus 19 years after esophagectomy for stage IIb Barrett’s adenocarcinoma. Implications relative to the type of operation and adequacy of resection are discussed. Long-term survival after Barrett’s adenocarcinoma may occur more often if surveillance protocols achieve their aim. Questions concerning the management of such patients are identified. 相似文献

We present a case of intractable high-volume (> 2L/d) chylothorax after transhiatal esophagectomy treated successfully with the simultaneous insertion of both Denver (Denver Biomedical, Golden, CO) and LeVeen (Becton-Dickinson, Rutherford, NJ) pleuroperitoneal shunts. The patient initially had chemoradiotherapy for a T4N1 squamous cell carcinoma of the thoracic esophagus. Re-staging showed a dramatic shrinkage of tumor, and a transhiatal esophagectomy was performed. Sequential bilateral thoracotomies were performed on postoperative days 19 and 26 for attempted control of high-volume chylothorax, but these were unsuccessful. Subsequent pleuroperitoneal shunt insertion was used, which immediately controlled the effusion. A shunt study was performed shortly after hospital discharge, which showed an occluded Denver shunt and a patent LeVeen shunt. The patient succumbed to metastatic carcinoma 18 months after discharge, but no pleural effusion had recurred. 相似文献

A rare case of esophageal carcinoma metastasizing to early gastric cancer is reported herein. A 66 year old man who had experienced
dysphagia for 8 months was preoperatively diagnosed as simultaneously having esophageal and gastric cancers. Thus, a lower
esophagectomy and total gastrectomy with paraesophageal and paragastric lymph node dissection were performed. The surgical
specimen revealed an ulcerative tumor in the lower esophagus and a slightly depressed lesion with a central elevation similar
to that of early type IIc+IIa1 gastric cancer in the upper part of the stomach. Microscopically, the esophageal tumor was revealed to be well differentiated
squamous cell carcinoma while the gastric tumor was found to be early gastric cancer with a metastatic focus of esophageal
cancer in the center. Though less than one hundred cases of metastasis of cancer to cancer have previously been reported,
metastasis from cancer of one digestive organ to that of another digestive organ is very rare. To our knowledge, this report
represents the first case of an esophageal carcinoma metastasizing to a gastric carcinoma. 相似文献

Chylotorax is a relatively uncommon and difficult to treat complication after esophagectomy for cancer. We report a case of
a young adult male who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiationtherapy followed by Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy for a squamous-cell
carcinoma of the distal esophagus. During the postoperative course the patient presented recurrent episodes of hemodynamic
instability mimicking cardiac tamponade, secondary to compression of the left pulmonary vein and the left atrium by a mediastinal
chylocele. Mediastinal drainage and ligation of the cisterna chyli and the thoracic duct was successfully performed through
a transhiatal approach. 相似文献

We report the case of a 50-year-old man with a double aortic arch who underwent esophagectomy for cancer in the middle thoracic
esophagus at clinical Stage IIA (T3N0M0), based on the TNM classification (UICC 2002). The patient underwent esophagectomy
with three-field lymphadenectomy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In such a case, it is important to recognize the anatomy
in the upper mediastinum, especially the relationship between the right and left aortic arch, and the recurrent laryngeal
nerves using computed tomography (CT) and three-dimensional CT. At first, we performed a cervical lymphadenectomy in order
to isolate the bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerves, then mediastinal lymphadenectomy through a right thoracotomy. However,
we could not confirm the bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerves during mediastinal lymphadenectomy, and were thus unable to
resect them. The postoperative course was uneventful. The patient died of multiple liver metastasis 4 years after the surgery,
with no evidence of recurrence in any lymph node. 相似文献

Surgical resection has widely accepted as the first-choice treatment for esophageal carcinoma in Japan, and it has improved the survival of patients with esophageal carcinoma during the past decades. However, the survival rate remains relatively poor compared with that of other gastrointestinal carcinomas. Physical handicaps after esophagectomy also cannot be ignored. Definitive chemoradiation has become an accepted treatment for esophageal carcinoma. Persistent or recurrent local disease is often the problem to be solved. In this case, selected patients with local failures can be salvaged by esophagectomy. In this paper we discuss recent improvements in definitive chemoradiotherapy and the definition of salvage esophagectomy. We also present our short-term results of a prospective phase II study of definitive chemoradiotherapy and salvage esophagectomy in patients with resectable squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. 相似文献

A 63 year old woman who had been irradiated for thyroid carcinoma at 36 years of age developed a cervico-esophageal stricture, the biopsy specimens from which revealed squamous cell carcinoma. Total esophagectomy was performed and a small linear ulcer was found in the resected specimen. Histological examination revealed moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with severe fibrosis around the tumor, indicating radiation-induced cervical esophageal cancer. The characteristics of radiation-induced esophageal cancers described in the literature are reviewed in context of the present case. 相似文献

We report a case of bilateral synchronous renal cell carcinoma in a 66-year-old-man, who underwent bilateral partial nephrectomy. He visited our hospital, complaining of left flank pain. Drip infusion pyelography showed a left ureteral stone and left hydroureteronephrosis. Computerized tomography revealed bilateral renal tumors. These tumors were small (< 2 cm), so bilateral partial nephrectomy and left ureterolithotomy were performed. The pathological examination showed that all tumors were renal cell carcinoma. No recurrence has been seen nine months after the operation. This is the 12th case in the Japanese literature reported as bilateral partial nephrectomy for bilateral synchronous renal cell carcinoma. 相似文献

A 69-year-old Japanese man undergoing total gastrectomy for multiple gastric ulcers at age 46 was found endoacopically to
have multiple esophageal cancers in the upper, mid, and lower esophagus. Esophageal mucosa associated with tumors was replaced
with columnar epithelium. He underwent total esophagectomy combined with laryngectomy, pharyngectomy, and lymph node dissection
using the large bowel for reconstruction. The resected esophagus had multiple cancers, including well-differentiated adenocarcinoma,
poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, and small-cell carcinoma. Barrett's mucosa consisted mainly of specialized columnar
epithelium while both junctional and fundic Barrett's epithelium was observed partially but not clearly. This case is indicative
of the high and totipotential carcinogenetic risk of Barrett's epithelium and the relationship between duodenal content reflux
and esophageal carcinogenesis after total gastrectomy. 相似文献

Several well-described options exist for reconstruction after total esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma. We present the case of a patient who was treated for squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus; the patient had undergone treatment with neoadjuvant chemoradiation and free jejunal transfer for a cervical esophageal tumor 13 years earlier. Through a three-field approach, esophagectomy and reconstruction with a cervical gastrojejunal anastomosis were performed. 相似文献

We report a patient of lower esophageal carcinoma with reversed intestinal rotation and major vascular anomalies including
pre-duodenal pre-pancreatic portal vein, absence of the confluence of the splenic vein with the superior mesenteric vein,
and deficiency of the common hepatic artery. We performed subtotal esophagectomy with three-field lymphadenectomy following
reconstruction with the stomach. The postoperative course was uneventful. This might be the first case that had such complicated
anatomical anomalies and radical esophagectomy was performed. As we had preoperatively recognized these anatomical anomalies
on radiographic examinations, we could successfully perform esophagectomy and reconstruction without any complications. 相似文献

Esophageal sarcoma is an uncommon tumor, sporadically reported in the literature. Radiation therapy is frequently employed in the treatment of carcinoma of the esophagus, and the increased risk of development of sarcoma arising in irradiated fields is well known. However, to our knowledge, the occurrence of radiation-associated sarcoma of the esophagus after radiation therapy for carcinoma of the esophagus has not been reported. We therefore report the case of a 43-year-old female who developed a gastrointestinal stroma sarcoma 9 years following radiation therapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The patient underwent resection of her gastrointestinal stromal sarcoma by transhiatal esophagectomy with cervical anastomosis and is doing well 18 months later. The increasing use of radiation therapy for esophageal carcinoma suggests that radiation-associated sarcoma of the esophagus may be seen more frequently in the future. 相似文献

Severe aspiration following esophageal reconstruction is often very difficult to treat while preserving the larynx. However, we have successfully adopted a modified surgical procedure previously employed for aspiration caused by neurological diseases or head and neck cancer surgery. We report herein the use of this modified procedure against aspiration in 2 cases following esophagectomy. In the first case, a combination of cricopharyngeal myotomy, infrahyoid myotomy and laryngeal pull-up, with approximation of the thyroid cartilage against the hyoid bone and that of the hyoid bone against the mandible, were performed simultaneously with the primary esophagectomy. In the second case, cricopharyngeal myotomy, infrahyoid myotomy, laryngeal pull-up and infrafold silicone injection were performed three months after the primary operation. Good results were achieved in both cases. Thus, for any case at risk of aspiration after esophagectomy or for any case with severe aspiration following esophagectomy that does not respond to swallow therapy, these operative rehabilitation procedures should be performed before laryngectomy is considered. 相似文献

Despite the increasing use of median sternotomy for pulmonary resection, only two successful cases of simultaneous resection of bilateral primary bronchogenic carcinoma by this approach have been reported. We report the third case of successful resection of synchronous primary bronchogenic carcinoma by median sternotomy, and the fourth successful case of simultaneous resection, as the first reported case of simultaneous resection was accomplished via bilateral anterolateral thoracotomy incisions. We believe at present that the ideal surgical approach for patients with bilateral primary bronchogenic carcinoma is simultaneous resection by median sternotomy. 相似文献

A patient with carcinoma of the lower third of esophagus suffered an extensive tracheal tear during transhiatal esophagectomy without thoracotomy, with severe impairment of ventilatory and hemodynamic status. A right thoracotomy was required for the repair of the tracheal lesion, which extended to the origin of left bronchus. During the maneuvers for bronchial intubation, the hypoxia worsened and cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation appeared. The arrhythmia was reverted. Operative mortality of transhiatal esophagectomy without thoracotomy is 8%. Pneumothorax is the most common operative complication. Tracheal laceration is reported in 1% of cases; usually it is not severe and is easily treated, although it can have significant severity and result in death as in the present case. After the operation, the patient persisted hemodynamically unstable, developing a new gasometric deterioration and bilateral pleural effusion, with impairment of coagulation. The patient died 39 hours after operation. The anesthetic management of peroperative tracheal tear is reviewed. 相似文献

Background Tumor budding has been suggested to be a prognostic factor in various cancers but has never been studied in esophageal cancer.
Methods In this study, the microscopic finding of tumor budding in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma was correlated with outcome
after esophagectomy. One hundred and thirty-six patients undergoing a curative esophagectomy were assigned to either a frequent
(n = 82) or rare (n = 54) group according to the microscopically observed frequency of tumor budding in the tumor.
Results The 5-year survival rates after esophagectomy were 35.4% for the frequent group and 81.3% for the rare group. Multivariate
analysis using the Cox proportional hazards model by a stepwise method identified this morphological variable as a significant
independent prognostic factor.
Conclusions Tumor budding in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma reflects the biological activity of the tumor and may be a useful prognostic
indicator. 相似文献

We report a case of successful esophagectomy via a left thoracotomy for esophageal cancer in a 57-year-old Japanese man with
situs inversus totalis. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, performed to investigate the cause of dysphagia, revealed a 7-cm
irregular shaped mass occupying more than half of the circumference of the middle-third of the esophagus. Computed tomography
(CT) showed enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes and situs inversus totalis. Histological examination of a biopsy specimen revealed
squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. Although esophagectomy is usually performed through a right thoracotomy because
of the left position of the aortic arch, we performed successful subtotal esophagectomy with radical lymph node dissection
through a left thoracotomy. During surgery, we modifi ed the standard surgical technique in a mirrorimage fashion to complete
the esophagectomy safely. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course. 相似文献
