1/711. Fine-needle aspiration cytology of cystic hypersecretory ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast: a case report.

    Cystic hypersecretory intraductal carcinoma is an unusual, cystic form of intraductal breast carcinoma affecting middle-aged women. Cytopathologists have rarely encountered this lesion, with only 2 other cases having been previously reported (Colandrea et al., Arch Pathol Lab Med 1988:112:560-563; Kim et al., Acta Cytol 1997;41:892-896). In our cases, the cytologic findings of both air-dried, Diff-Quick-stained and ethanol-fixed, Papanicolaou-stained smears are presented. The cytologic hallmarks of this entity include the presence of a few scattered epithelial cells with bland nuclear morphology in a background of extensive, amorphous, pink-staining material. Cytomorphologically, the differential diagnosis includes other entities containing pink-staining material such as colloid carcinoma, mucocele-like lesion of the breast, and benign fibrocystic change.

2/711. A case of advanced esophageal cancer showing a long-term complete response with chemotherapy with nedaplatin alone.

    We describe a case of advanced esophageal cancer treated successfully by chemotherapy with nedaplatin alone. A 60-year-old male with type 2 advanced esophageal cancer, which was located in the upper part of the esophagus and had invaded adjacent organs, was treated with nedaplatin 150 mg/body (100 mg/m2) given intravenously every 4 weeks from January 6, 1991. He achieved a partial response (PR) and was discharged in March 1991. Subsequently, he received nedaplatin 75 mg/body in an out-patient setting almost every month until August 1992. Toxicities were tolerable and included mild thrombocytopenia and nausea/vomiting. From serial evaluation in October 1993, the esophageal tumor was not observed. After 7 years since initial chemotherapy was administered, he still survives without the disease.

3/711. Modified Antia-Buch repair for full-thickness upper pole auricular defects.

    Various reconstructive techniques have been described for repair of full-thickness upper pole auricular defects. The wedge excision commonly used for treatment of upper pole tumors allows excision and reconstruction in a single stage. However, this technique suffers from major deficiencies. We apply the concept of crescentic scaphal excision and the Antia-Buch advancement-rotation flap principle to repair various full-thickness upper pole auricular defects resulting from excision of skin lesions in eight consecutive patients. The technique achieves a natural auricular shape in three dimensions with minimal disruption of the anatomic landmarks and avoids conspicuous scars. It has several advantages over the original Antia-Buch repair and other techniques used for reconstruction of full-thickness upper pole auricular defects.

4/711. Double cancers of the lung and esophagus associated with a sarcoid-like reaction in their regional lymph nodes: report of a case.

    A case of double cancers of the lung and esophagus associated with a sarcoid-like reaction in their regional lymph nodes is reported. A 73-year-old man with hemosputum was found to have a mass in his right lower lung field on a chest X-ray. Based on a diagnosis of lung cancer, a right middle and lower lobectomy with a dissection of the lymph nodes was performed. Microscopically, a well developed granulomatous reaction was seen in the dissected mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes. Three years after the pulmonary resection, he was admitted to our hospital because of dysphagia. A diagnosis of lower esophageal cancer was made. A lower esophagectomy with a total gastrectomy was performed. A sarcoid-like reaction comprising epithelioid cells and giant cells was seen in the regional lymph nodes. No clinical findings indicative of systemic sarcoidosis were observed. This rare condition may therefore help to improve our overall understanding of the relationship between malignant neoplasms and sarcoid-like reactions in the regional lymph nodes.

5/711. Pericardial tamponade: an unusual complication of lobectomy for lung cancer.

    A rare case of pericardial tamponade developed in a 69-year-old man after a right upper lobectomy for lung cancer. This unusual complication presented in the early postoperative period and was associated with what we believed to be an aberrant right bronchial artery coming off the intrapericardial portion of the aorta. This vessel retracted into the pericardial sac where it bled causing a pericardial tamponade.

6/711. A novel clinical application for endoscopic mucosal clipping.

    BACKGROUND: Endoscopic hemoclipping has been shown to be effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding. Here we describe a novel clinical application for endoscopic application of metal clips. methods: A middle-aged man with inoperable squamous cell cancer of the esophagus underwent per protocol a barium esophagogram to document tumor margins prior to radiation therapy. This study failed to localize the full extent of the tumor. At endoscopy, the tumor margins were clearly visible. To delineate the proximal and distal margins, detachable metallic clips were passed through the accessory channel of a standard endoscope and using a clip fixing device the clips were placed at each level. Subsequently, a chest x-ray was obtained. RESULTS: Placement of mucosal clips facilitated radiotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic mucosal clipping may serve as a useful technique for localizing or marking gastrointestinal lesions, especially for demarcating a precise radiation field when conventional techniques fail.

7/711. Axillary nodal metastases in head and neck cancer.

    BACKGROUND: Axillary node metastasis is an uncommon occurrence in squamous carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract. methods: The tumor registry of The Johns Hopkins University Department of otolaryngology-head and neck Surgery contained four cases of metastasis to the axilla from head and neck primary sites. A retrospective review of these cases was performed. RESULTS: Each patient had been initially treated for cancer years earlier including surgery and radiation to the neck. A recurrent cancer or a new primary then developed in the upper aerodigestive tract prior to the development of the axillary metastases. CONCLUSIONS: The common course of disease in these patients suggests that alteration of the lymphatic anatomy by previous treatment may have caused a new pattern of metastatic spread upon reseeding from the mucosa, resulting in the axillary metastases. Routine surveillance of the axillae by physical examination and/or computerized imaging in at risk patients may permit the early diagnosis of axillary metastases.

8/711. The answer is blowing in the wind: a pedunculated tumour with saw tooth flow-volume loop.

    Obstructing tumours of the upper airways have been demonstrated to alter the flow volume loop of pulmonary function testing. These alterations could be clues to the nature and location of the obstruction. This report describes a case of a pedunculated squamous cell carcinoma arising in the pharynx whose flow volume loop showed a saw tooth pattern which reflected the location and structure of the tumour.

9/711. Angiosarcoma of the chest wall.

    Angiosarcoma is a rare and highly malignant tumor of vascular origin. The causative factors include trauma, radiation, foreign bodies, thorium dioxide, and viral infections. We report a case of angiosarcoma occurring in a thoracotomy incision 17 years after operation for stage I lung cancer.

10/711. Sternothoracotomy for combined coronary artery bypass grafting and left upper lobectomy in a patient with low-lying tracheostoma.

    A 64-year-old man had a low-lying tracheostoma and presented with unstable angina and a mass in the pulmonary left upper lobe. Simultaneous coronary revascularization and resection of the lung neoplasm were completed through a sternothoracotomy (clam-shell) incision. The advantages of this approach include excellent exposure to the mediastinum and the lung fields, and the option of using both internal thoracic arteries for bypass grafting.
