[A case of hepatocellular carcinoma effectively treated by intraarterial infusion of CDDP and other agents].

It is very common for intraarterial infusion therapy of some anticancer agent to be effective against hepatocellular carcinoma. In this case, the patient was a 74-year-old man who suffered from very advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor thrombus of the intrahepatic portal vein and IVC. He was treated with intraarterial infusion of CDDP, Etoposide, 5-FU, through a catheter placed in the proper hepatic artery. CDDP (30 mg/day) and Etoposide (60 mg/day) were given once every 5 days, and then 5-FU(250 mg/day) was infused daily for 26 days. The patient underwent this protocol study twice in 3 months. After the intraarterial infusion, transarterial embolization using CDDP (100 mg) powder added to lipiodol and aluminum stearate as suspension was done a month later. The tumor regression rate was 84% after intraarterial infusion of CDDP, Etoposide and 5-FU. The tumor thrombus in the intrahepatic portal vein and IVC had completely disappeared. We could not find lipiodol accumulated in the tumor after TAE. Thus, we assumed that the remaining tumor was a necrotic scar and that a complete response was obtained in the patient. There were some side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, pancytopenia and gastritis but no severe complication occurred.

[A case report of hepatoma with a giant splenic aneurysm both treated by TAE therapy].

A case of a 49-year-old woman who was found to have a giant splenic aneurysm during the course of TAE therapy for hepatoma and who was given TAE therapy using 47 steel coils is reported. The splenic arterial embolization therapy using steel coils proved effective for preventing the rupture of an aneurysm and for inhibiting hypersplenism. In addition, no serious adverse effect was observed.

[Chemoembolization therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma-antitumor effect and side effect].

Chemoembolization therapy with arterial injection of a mixture of various anticancer agents (CDDP, ADR, MMC) and Lipiodol along with gelfoam particles was carried out on 158 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma between January 1985 and July 1987. In two groups using CDDP the tumor regressed 50% or more in higher percentage than in the groups without CDDP. The antitumor effect was more significant in the group using CDDP and ADR than in the group using CDDP alone. No significant side effect was noted in any case.

Type 1a glycogen storage disease with hepatoblastoma in siblings.

Clinical and histologic details of the two siblings with type 1a glycogen storage disease (GSD-1a) who developed hepatoblastoma are presented. The light microscopic studies on hepatic tumor in both siblings revealed fetal type of hepatoblastoma. Ultrastructural findings in Patient 2 showed markedly altered mitochondria, which were frequently surrounded by the rough endoplasmic reticulum. This is the first known occurrence with this association, and the third report on the familial occurrence of this neoplasm. Glycogen storage disease may increase the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatoblastoma.

[Chemoembolization therapy with cisplatin.lipiodol (CDDP.lipiodol) in primary liver cancer--with special reference to hepatocellular carcinoma].

From Jan., 1985 to Mar., 1986 thirty-six patients with primary liver cancer received transcatheter arterial chemoembolization therapy with Cisplatin (100 mg) blended into Lipiodol (5 ml) and simple embolization therapy with Gelfoam particles. Thirty-three cases out of 36 had hepatocellular carcinoma, one had hepatoblastoma and one had adenocarcinoma. Ten (31%) out of 32 had hepatocellular carcinoma, and showed objective tumor reduction greater than 50% (partial response) regarding the main tumor. Of the 33 there was one sudden death due to intracerebral hemorrhage. Only two out of 25 cases with daughter nodules showed slight reduction. Almost all cases with daughter nodules showed no response to chemoembolization therapy. Five patients died after chemoembolization therapy during the fifteen-month study period. Two patients died of liver abscess or cholecystitis and surrounding abscess, one died of intracerebral hemorrhage, one died of hepatic failure and the remaining case was one of tumor death.

Chondromyxoid fibroma of the scapula associated with aneurysmal bone cyst.

A rare case of chondromyxoid fibroma of the scapula in a 21-year-old man is presented. This case is of interest because of its unusual site and association of aneurysmal bone cyst. Although chondromyxoid fibroma is uncommon bone tumor of the scapula, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of expansile osteolytic lesion of the scapula.
