The case involved a 65-year-old man who underwent subtotal esophagectomy and posterior mediastinal reconstruction using a gastric cube. 3 years after esophagectomy, endoscopy showed a type 0-Ⅱa+Ⅱc ...lesion located lower of gastric tube. Biopsy showed well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. The tumor diagnosed as cT1 (SM) N0M0 and clinical Stage ⅠA. ESD was performed, however the tumor invaded muscle layer. So operation was performed. In regard to ischemia of oral-side gastric tube, Distal gastrectomy sparing of right gastroomental artery was performed. The postoperative course was satisfactory, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 14. Surgical procedure of gastric tube cancer with posterior mediastinal route is invasive and itʼs lead to much postoperative complications. To prevent this issue, regular examination to detect early phase of cancer is mandatory.
A 59-year-old woman was diagnosed as having type 0-1 gastric cancer at the greater curvature of the angular notch by an esophagogastroduodenoscopy. We detected a vascular anomaly in which the left ...gastric artery and the splenic artery formed the common trunk (so called Adachi type V) by 3D-CT angiography preoperatively. We performed laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection safely because we persistently recognized the vascular anomaly during the operation. The postoperative course was uneventful and she was discharged on the day 6 postoperatively. We present a case of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer with an Adachi type V vascular anomaly which was diagnosed by preoperative 3D-CT angiography, together with a review of the literature.

We have experienced a case of breast metastasis of gastric cancer which is rare. The case involved a 69-year-old woman who underwent total gastrectomy for gastric cancer in December 2014. The tumor ...was diagnosed as T4aN3bM1 (P1, CY1) and stage IV ; the therapy resulted in a curability C ; and the histologic type was signet ring cell carcinoma. Since the patient refused to receive adjuvant chemotherapy, we had followed her clinical course until January 2016 when she noticed a tumor occupying the entire left breast. A fine needle biopsy cytology revealed signet ring cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry proved that the breast specimen was identical with the gastric cancer tissue. Breast metastasis of gastric cancer was thus diagnosed. A literature review since 1980 revealed a total of 29 cases of breast metastasis of gastric cancer, including our case, to have been reported. These tumors were characterized by frequent occurrence in relatively young women and many cases to be of signet ring cell carcinoma or poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. When the breast metastasis was diagnosed, the disease had often progressed and involved other organs. The one-year survival rate after the diagnosis was as poor as 14.9%. The significance of local therapies in these patients is low and further clinical studies of highly effective general therapies would be required to improve the prognosis.
胃癌脳転移は比較的稀であり,予後不良とされている.今回,われわれは胃癌術後の脳転移症例に対し,積極的に治療を行った3例を経験した.症例:男性1例,女性2例だった.胃癌手術時の年齢中央値が61歳だった.胃癌の進行度はpStage III Cが2例,pStage ...IV(肝転移)が1例だった.脳転移再発までの期間は全例が12カ月以上だった.転移個数は単発が1例で,多発が2例だった.脳転移に対しての治療は2例が定位放射線治療を施行され,1例は手術を施行された.転帰は全例が癌死で,2例が脳病変の進行に伴う脳ヘルニアで,1例が肺病変の進行に伴うものだった.脳転移再発後の生存期間は,27日,8カ月,9カ月だった.脳転移再発後の予後は悪いとされていたが,比較的長期生存を認めた.脳転移病巣のコントロールが重要であり,治療可能な病変であれば積極的に治療を考慮すべきであると考えられた.
