[Malignant melanoma of the anorectal mucosa].

HISTORY: A 62-year-old man was admitted to hospital because of rectal bleeding of unknown cause. INVESTIGATIONS: Coloscopy showed a rectal tumour as cause of the bleeding and concomitant hypochromic microcytic anaemia. Histological examination established the diagnosis of anorectal malignant melanoma. Further staging examinations did not reveal metastatic disease. TREATMENT AND COURSE: An radical abdominoperineal rectal resection amputation was performed. The postsurgical course was uneventful. However, multiple lung metastases were detected 6 weeks later. CONCLUSION: Anorectal malignant melanoma is a rare cause in the differential diagnosis of anorectal tumours. Surgery remains the therapy of choice. Chemotherapy and immunotherapy are principally used in a palliative setting. Despite advances in therapy, the prognosis of this tumour entity remains unfavourable.

An Hfe-dependent pathway mediates hyposideremia in response to lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in mice.

Inflammation influences iron balance in the whole organism. A common clinical manifestation of these changes is anemia of chronic disease (ACD; also called anemia of inflammation). Inflammation reduces duodenal iron absorption and increases macrophage iron retention, resulting in low serum iron concentrations (hyposideremia). Despite the protection hyposideremia provides against proliferating microorganisms, this 'iron withholding' reduces the iron available to maturing red blood cells and eventually contributes to the development of anemia. Hepcidin antimicrobial peptide (Hamp) is a hepatic defensin-like peptide hormone that inhibits duodenal iron absorption and macrophage iron release. Hamp is part of the type II acute phase response and is thought to have a crucial regulatory role in sequestering iron in the context of ACD. Mice with deficiencies in the hemochromatosis gene product, Hfe, mounted a general inflammatory response after injection of lipopolysaccharide but lacked appropriate Hamp expression and did not develop hyposideremia. These data suggest a previously unidentified role for Hfe in innate immunity and ACD.

Spirocercosis-associated esophageal sarcomas in dogs. A retrospective study of 17 cases (1997-2003).

Seventeen client-owned dogs diagnosed with spirocercosis-associated esophageal sarcomas were retrospectively reviewed. The most common clinical signs noticed were vomiting and/or regurgitation (94%), lethargy and depression (59%), pyrexia and anorexia (41% each). Leukocytosis (82%) and microcytic hypochromic anemia (30%) were the most common hematological abnormalities. Caudal thoracic masses were demonstrated on survey radiographs of 13/15 of the dogs and thoracic spondylitis was detected in 12/15 dogs. Spirocerca lupi eggs were detected in 2/8 patients and worms were demonstrated on 1/11 at necropsy. Ten cases underwent surgical attempt to remove the tumors. In six of them partial esophagectomy (PE) was performed and all of them survived the immediate postoperative hospitalization. Five of the cases that underwent PE also received chemotherapy after surgery (doxorubicin (Adriamycin, Upjohn)) with an average survival time of 267 days. The histopathological results of the esophageal tumors were osteosarcoma (9), fibrosarcoma (5) and undifferentiated sarcoma (1). In areas endemic to spirocercosis, regurgitation or vomiting in dogs and microcytic hypochromic anemia and neutrophilia warrant ruling out esophageal sarcomas. Proper surgical treatment could prolong the dogs' lifespan for months, and improve their quality of life.
