  A 67-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of dark-colored urine and upper abdominal pain. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed stricture of the distal bile duct, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed irregular thickening of the distal bile duct wall. However, no enlarged lymph nodes, pancreatic tumors, or other neoplastic lesions were apparent around the bile duct. Endoscopic ultrasonography and intraductal ultrasonography showed irregular thickening of the inner hypoechoic layer without the disappearance of the innermost thin hyperechoic layer. On the basis of these findings, we considered that the bile duct lesion was of non-epithelial origin. Thus, we repeatedly performed bile duct biopsies from the same site under fluoroscopy to obtain a sample of the submucosal tissue. The pathological diagnosis was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and the patient received systemic chemotherapy (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone). After six courses of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone, positron emission tomography-computed tomography showed the disappearance of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the bile duct and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography showed improvement of the bile duct stricture. Endoscopic findings and repeated biopsies were useful in making the diagnosis of primary biliary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

  A 70-year-old man undergoing treatment for immunoglobulin G4-related disease developed a liver mass on computed tomography during routine imaging examination. The tumor was located in the hepatic S1/4 region, was 38 mm in size, and showed arterial enhancement on dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography. We performed a liver biopsy and diagnosed moderately differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma. The patient underwent proton beam therapy. The tumor remained unchanged but enlarged after 4 years. The patient was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence and received hepatic arterial chemoembolization. However, 1 year later, the patient developed jaundice, and the liver tumor grew in size. Unfortunately, the patient passed away. Autopsy revealed that the tumor consisted of spindle-shaped cells exhibiting nuclear atypia and a fission pattern and tested positive for α-smooth muscle actin and vimentin. No hepatocellular carcinoma components were observed, and the patient was pathologically diagnosed with hepatic leiomyosarcoma. Next-generation sequencing revealed somatic mutations in CACNA2D4, CTNNB1, DOCK5, IPO8, MTMR1, PABPC5, SEMA6D, and ZFP36L1. Based on the genetic mutation, sarcomatoid hepatocarcinoma was the most likely pathogenesis in this case. This mutation is indicative of the transition from sarcomatoid hepatocarcinoma to hepatic leiomyosarcoma.

  BACKGROUND: Patients with resectable (R) or borderline resectable (BR) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) sometimes show unexpected liver, peritoneal, and para-aortic lymph node metastases intraoperatively. Despite radical pancreatectomy, a nonnegligible number of patients relapse within 6 months after surgery. The aim of this study was to identify the preoperative predictors of occult metastases (OM), defined as intraoperative distant metastases or within 6 months after pancreatectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included patients with R and BR PDAC who underwent curative-intent pancreatectomy or staging laparoscopy between 2006 and 2021. Multivariate logistic regression and Cox hazard analyses were performed to identify the preoperative predictors of OM and to assess the impact of these factors on prognosis after pancreatectomy. RESULTS: Of the 279 patients, OM was observed intraoperatively in 47 and postoperatively in 34. In the OM group, there were no differences in prognosis between patients who had intraoperative metastases and recurrence within 6 months (median survival time [MST], 18.1 vs. 12.9 months), and between patients who underwent pancreatectomy and those who did not (MST, 13.9 vs. 18.1 months). Preoperative tumor size ≥22 mm (odds ratio [OR], 2.03; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.16-3.53; p = 0.013) and preoperative CA19-9 level ≥ 118.8 U/mL (OR, 2.64; 95 % CI, 1.22-5.73; p = 0.014) were significant predictors of OM. Additionally, positive OM predictors were strong independent prognostic factors for overall survival after pancreatectomy (hazard ratio, 2.47; 95 % CI, 1.54-3.98; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Multidisciplinary treatment strategies should be considered for patients with predictors of OM to avoid inappropriate surgical interventions.
