Patients with stage I testicular germ cell tumors have a long life expectancy, but the tumors have a potential to relapse after treatment. Although relapse is observed within a few years in most cases, late relapse over 10 years after initial treatment has also been reported in patients with stage I testicular germ cell tumors. We encountered a case of testicular seminoma that developed mediastinal lymph node metastasis 13 years after radical surgery for the primary tumor. The relapsed disease progressed...

Accessory male breast cancer (BC) is a rare entity and is associated with poor outcome. We report a 76-year-old patient who was diagnosed with concurrent accessory breast and primary lung cancer, both were positive for somatic BRCA-2 (E1593D) mutation. He received concurrent radiation and platinum-based chemotherapy for lung cancer with good response, but breast cancer progressed in about 8 months, and further progressed after single agent anastrozole in 10 months. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)...

Appendiceal mucocele (AM) is rare disease found in #x3c;1% of all appendectomy specimens. AM is often misdiagnosed as appendicitis because the most frequent symptom is right lower quadrant abdominal pain. AM should be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain. Although there are pathological classifications, surgical resection is accepted as the treatment to prevent the development of peritoneal pseudomyxoma (PP); however, the optimal surgical technique that must be used is unclear....

Lung cancer has the highest mortality of all cancers in the United States. The incidence of lung cancer with metastases to the skin varies between 1–12%, with the highest incidence seen in men. Here, we present two cases of lung cancer presenting as skin metastasis. The first patient was an 80-year-old African American male who presented to the hospital for evaluation of a right upper back mass. A few months prior to admission, he was found to have a left lung mass on CT scan of the chest, he underwent...

Late recurrence of estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer is common. When tissues from a recurrent or metastatic focus are available, re-evaluation of ER, progesterone receptor (PgR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status is recommended for treatment selection. This case report describes a 59-year-old woman who underwent surgery for left breast cancer, with a histopathological diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma (pathological stage T2N1aM0 Stage IIB, ER positive, PgR...

Paraneoplastic Limbic Encephalitis Complicated with Small Cell Lung Cancer at the Time of Recurrence
Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis (PLE) is a rare neurologic disorder that can complicate various malignancies, including lung cancer. PLE is most frequently found the initial presentation of lung cancer. In this study, we reported the case of a 74-year-old Japanese woman who developed PLE after partial remission of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) by first-line systemic chemotherapy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed no metastatic tumor or cerebrovascular disease. Anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase...
