Endoscopically resected giant esophageal carcinosarcoma.
A 79-year-old man presented with dysphagia evolving over months. Notably, he underwent right upper lung lobe resection in his sixties and has emphysema and coronary heart disease. Gastroscopy showed a large, inhomogeneous tumor in the proximal esophagus, with a diameter exceeding 5cm (●" Fig.1), which was judged to be unresectable endoscopically. Biopsies revealed stromal cells without definite...
متن کاملFrequent aberrant p53 and Fhit expression in endoscopically resected superficial hypopharyngeal cancer and esophageal cancer
In the last decade, the incidence rate of detection rate of superficial head, neck and esophageal squamous cell carcinomas has increased with the development of endoscopic imaging techniques. These cancers are thought to arise independently subsequent to tissue exposure to a common carcinogen e.g. alcohol or tobacco. This phenomenon has been termed field cancerization. To determine the molecula...
متن کاملExpression of methylation-modulated tumor-related genes in endoscopically resected early esophageal squamous neoplasia
Smoking and alcohol consumption are major risk factors for the development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Recent studies have demonstrated that smoking and alcohol consumption may be associated with altered DNA methylation in human cancer development. The aim of the present study was to evaluate methylation-modulated protein expression of tumor-related genes (TRGs) in the early s...
متن کاملA resected case of pulmonary carcinosarcoma.
The patient was a 78-year-old man with a history of smoking 5 or 6 cigarettes per day for 40 years. A chest X-ray taken during a medical checkup demonstrated a mass shadow in the right lower lung field. The patient was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma by bronchoscopic brushing cytology. A right lower lobectomy and a lymph node dissection were performed under a diagnosis of squamous cell c...
متن کاملEndoscopically Observed Lower Esophageal Capillary Patterns
BACKGROUND It has been reported that there are four zones of distinct venous patterns around the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ); i.e. truncal, perforating, palisade (PZ) and gastric zones. Using the distal end of PZ as a marker for GEJ, this study was done to assess the length and patterns of PZ in Koreans, and to assess the prevalence of endoscopic Barrett's esophagus (E-BE) and hiatal hernia...
