Abstract Metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) cases that cannot be detected on repeat prostate biopsy are extremely rare. Our patient was a 51-year-old Japanese man diagnosed as metastatic PCa by histopathological examination of lesions obtained bone biopsy and lymph node dissection. The primary tumor was not detected after repeated prostate biopsy. Metastatic PCa was diagnosed based on immunohistochemical staining: PSA, AR, P504S, and NKX3.1 of bone and lymph node with metastasis. We speculate that the primary PCa was “burned-out,” demonstrating remote metastases with no apparent primary tumor in the prostate. Burned-out PCa may be difficult to diagnose and treat due to its rarity.

Abstract Salmonella osteomyelitis is extremely rare; only a few cases have been reported in healthy adults. We describe a case of salmonella osteomyelitis in an otherwise healthy 20-year-old Japanese woman who presented with distal tibial pain. X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging showed a lesion suspected to be a bone cyst. Osteomyelitis was diagnosed when pus was observed during an open biopsy. The bacterial culture examination yielded salmonella. Surgical drainage and antibiotic treatment were performed, after which no recurrence was observed. To our best knowledge, this is the first report of salmonella osteomyelitis of the distal tibia in an otherwise healthy individual.

Abstract The indications for peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) have been expanded to include diffuse esophageal spasm (DES). A 67-year-old Japanese man presented with a 4-year history of dysphagia. Endoscopy and upper gastrography revealed abnormal peristaltic movements involving interruption of normal peristalsis, and a diverticulum located at the 2 o’clock esophageal position. High-resolution manometry indicated DES. POEM with a long (15 cm) myotomy was performed for the abnormal contractions, which subsequently disappeared along with dysphagia improvement. Our results suggest that esophageal motility disorders accompanying a diverticulum may be eliminated by POEM without treating the diverticulum itself. We speculate that POEM ameliorates esophageal diverticulum by reducing internal esophageal pressure.

Abstract A 60-year-old Japanese woman with severe osteoporosis presented with a history of right buttock pain and right lateral lower leg pain in an L5 distribution. She had been treated with methotrexate and methylprednisolone for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and interstitial pneumonia. Computed tomography demonstrated a sacral stress fracture in the right sacral ala. The right L5 nerve root was compressed by the fracture site. This case is rare in that L5 radiculopathy was complicated by a sacral stress fracture. Clinicians should suspect sacral stress fractures when RA or osteoporosis is present in women who experiences lumbar pain and lumbar radiculopathy.

Abstract The bilateral shoulder pain of an 81-year-old Japanese woman due to falls persisted despite celecoxib treatment, and plain X-rays later showed bilateral collapsed humeral heads. After ruling out osteoarthritis, infectious arthritis, crystal-induced arthritis, neuropathic arthropathy, and osteonecrosis, we diagnosed bilateral shoulder joint rapidly destructive arthrosis (RDA). Lumbar bone mineral density showed very low T-score (−4.1). Primary osteoporosis was observed. Histology of biopsied humeral head indicated the features of fracture healing process: callus formation and osteoclasts without empty lacunae. Her history thus included an insufficiency fracture due to severe osteoporosis. Bilateral humeral head replacement was performed; her shoulder joint function improved. This case is extremely rare in that RDA was caused by simultaneous bilateral shoulder joint collapse within a very short time, with minimal or low mechanical stress and severe osteoporosis.

Abstract Cases of recurrent meningitis in elderly patients with a spontaneous cerebrospinal fistula have been reported, and in some of these patients, cystic lesions were thought to be the underlying cause. We report a case of recurrent meningitis in an 11-year-old Japanese girl with an arachnoid cyst in the petrous apex. Pulsation of the cystic lesion was thought to cause bone erosion, leading to the formation of a fistula. Magnetic resonance imaging was useful in evaluating the arachnoid cyst and fistula. During 2 years of follow-up, the osteolytic lesion enlarged and the rate of bone erosion was higher than expected.

Abstract Hepatitis-associated aplastic anemia (HAAA) is an acquired bone marrow failure syndrome that develops after seronegative fulminant hepatitis. Abnormal cytotoxic T-cell activation with cytokine release is a possible pathophysiology. We present the case of a 16-month-old Japanese male who developed HAAA following living-donor liver transplantation for fulminant hepatitis. His aplastic anemia was successfully treated with immunosuppressive therapy. He had been administered tacrolimus for prophylaxis against hepatic allograft rejection. Ten years after the HAAA onset, the patient’s bone marrow was found to be slightly hypoplastic. Tacrolimus may be effective in controlling abnormal immune reactions that can cause recurrent impaired hematopoiesis.

Abstract A 22-year-old Japanese male with trisomy 21 was diagnosed with West syndrome at 4 months old. After the suppression of epileptic spasms using adrenocorticotropic hormone therapy, he had complex partial seizures and bilateral frontal epileptic discharges on EEG. Although the introduction of topiramate (TPM) decreased the seizures during wakefulness, frequent episodes of brief eye-opening appeared during sleep while the patient was taking TPM (400 mg/day). EEG showed fast activity at the times of eye-opening. The episodes of eye-opening during sleep and the fast activities disappeared upon TPM discontinuation. This is the first report of TPM-induced microseizures similar to benzodiazepine-induced microseizures.

Abstract Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is a fatal, malignancy-related respiratory complication; we herein report a PTTM case induced by metastatic prostate cancer. An 81-year-old Japanese man developed dyspnea. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) revealed ground-glass opacities spread across bilateral lung fields. Pulmonary microvascular aspiration cytology detected prostate cancer cells. As PTTM was highly suspected, docetaxel chemotherapy was performed immediately. His respiratory condition and HRCT findings improved temporarily, but he died approx. 6 weeks after admission. Autopsy showed fibrocellular intimal proliferation of small pulmonary arterioles, which confirmed the diagnosis of PTTM induced by prostate cancer. As in the present case, it is often difficult to confirm the presence of not only tumor embolization but also fibrocellular intimal proliferation before the patient’s death.

Abstract Renal involvement is occasionally observed in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) and X-linked thrombocytopenia (XLT). It has been reported that galactose-deficient IgA is a closely linked to IgA nephropathy (IgAN), suggesting that patients with XLT/WAS associated with reduced galactosylation on serum IgA are susceptible to IgAN. It is necessary to pay more attention to patients with IgAN due to the potential complication with XLT/WAS. We here present a patient of XLT complicated with mild IgAN who underwent tonsillectomy combined with steroid pulse therapy to achieve complete clinical remission.

Abstract A healthy 10-year-old boy vomited during sleep and later complained of abdominal pain; he became drowsy and uncommunicative. At the nearby hospital E.R., he deteriorated rapidly, and his respiratory movements were absent with cardiac arrest. He was immediately resuscitated. Brain MRI showed no abnormalities. EEG revealed an abnormal pattern with recurrent multifocal epileptiform activity over the bilateral occipital and frontal regions during sleep. Based on the clinical/radiological findings we diagnosed Panayiotopoulos syndrome (PS), a benign form of early-onset pediatric epilepsy characterized by autonomic symptoms. Lifethreating cardiopulmonary arrest is rare in PS, but long seizure duration of PS may associate with apnea and bradycardia.

Abstract We treated two patients with a rare metaplastic carcinoma of the breast. Patient 1:A 32-year-old woman presented with a rapidly growing mass( 7cm) in her right breast. We diagnosed cT3N0M0 Stage IIB breast cancer and performed a radical resection. The pathological diagnosis was triple-negative metaplastic carcinoma with a Ki-67 value >30%. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy were performed. Patient 2:A 66-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with a left breast mass. We diagnosed cT1N0M0 Stage I breast cancer and performed a radical resection. The pathological diagnosis was triple-negative metaplastic carcinoma with a Ki-67 value >30%. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy was performed. Patients 1 and 2 have achieved relapse-free survivals of 1 year+2 months and 10 months, respectively. Metaplastic carcinoma of the breast is a rare tumor, and its prognosis is not favorable. The only available treatment is that used for invasive ductal carcinoma;a more specific treatment has not been established. The accumulation of further similar cases and the development of a novel effective treatment are desired.

Abstract  A 73-year-old woman was admitted for closer investigation into an abdominal tumor. Abdominal ultra-sonography, CT, and magnetic resonance imaging showed a discrete abdominal tumor. Especially on MRI, the tumor appeared as a relatively ill-defined whorled soft-tissue thickening within the mesenteric fat, causing angulation or speculation of adjacent bowel mesentery. Surgery was performed under a presumptive diagnosis of a mesojejunum desmoid. The tumor was invading the transverse mesocolon and mesojejunum as well as the third portion of the duodenum and the middle colic artery, and it was close to but apart from the superior mesenteric artery. The tumor was resected, including removal of part of the duodenum and transverse colon. The specimen contained a white solid tumor measuring 14×12×8cm. Pathologic examination showed differentiated fibroblasts and copious collagen fibers. The tumor was negative for CD34, c-kit, S-100, and α-SMA, but positive for β-catenin. On the basis of these findings, we established a diagnosis of mesenteric desmoid tumor of the small intestine. The patient has been followed postoperatively for 2 years, no sign of recurrence, to date.

Abstract A 65-year-old Japanese man with bilateral carotid atherosclerosis presented with right neck pain and fever. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography suggested carotid arteritis, and carotid ultrasonography showed an unstable plaque. The patient developed a cerebral embolism, causing a transient ischemic attack. Helicobacter cinaedi was detected in blood culture, and H. cinaedi-associated carotid arteritis was diagnosed. Empirical antibiotic therapy was administered for 6 weeks. After readmission for recurrent fever, he was treated another 8 weeks. Although the relationship between H. cinaedi infection and atherosclerosis development remains unclear, the atherosclerotic changes in our patient’s carotid artery might have been attributable to H. cinaedi infection.

Abstract Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder that is characterized by scaly, erythematous, sharply demarcated plaques. The treatment for psoriasis has dramatically changed over the last 10 years with the introduction of biologics. However, the risk of cancer induced by biologics for psoriasis has not been fully analyzed, since these agents have such a short history of use. Here we report the case of a 74-year-old woman with psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis complicated by breast cancer after systemic treatments including etretinate, cyclosporine, methotrexate, adalimumab, and ustekinumab.

Abstract The primary toxicity of hydrogen peroxide results from its interaction with catalase, which liberates water and oxygen. We report the case of a 14-year-old Japanese girl with portal venous gas that was caused by oxygen liberated from intentionally ingested hydrogen peroxide. Although she had a past history of atrial septal defect, recovery without cardiac or neurological sequelae was achieved using hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Emergency physicians must be aware of the danger of liberated oxygen due to hydrogen peroxide ingestion.

Abstract This is the first report of extensive bilateral patellar tendon ossification occurring over a prolonged time after a unilateral knee injury. An 84-year-old Japanese man with a spinal cord injury caused by a burst fracture of the T12 vertebra presented with a bony hard prominence on the left knee, which was injured in a traffic accident when he was 77 years old. Radiography revealed extensive ossification of the bilateral patellar tendons. We review the English literature with a focus on the localization of bilateral heterotopic ossification of the knee in patients who had a central nervous system injury.

Abstract Traumatic eyeball luxation is a rare clinical condition with a dramatic presentation. Here, we describe a unique case of traumatic globe luxation and complete optic nerve transection caused by heavy object compression. A 45-year-old male automobile mechanic was injured when a truck slipped from its supports, crushing his head and face. On arrival, his right eyeball was obviously displaced anteriorly and he had no light perception. Computed tomography revealed complex frontal bone and facial fractures with underlying brain contusion in addition to complete transection of the right optic nerve. The patient was successfully treated using a multidisciplinary approach.

Abstract Internal hernia related to paracecal hernia is a rare disease and is difficult to confirm by preoperative diagnosis. We recently encountered a case of an 83-year-old woman who had lower abdominal pain in her right quadrant. Based on physical findings and CT findings she was diagnosed as having small bowel obstruction by internal hernia around the cecum. She underwent emergency operation with laparoscopic surgery and was diagnosed with a paracecal hernia and treated laparoscopically. After we dissected the ventral wall of the hernia sac and enlarged the hernia orifice, we reduced the trapped small intestine into the abdominal space. We determined that the herniated portion of the small intestine was not necrotic and therefore did not resect it. Although paracecal hernia is a rare internal hernia, physicians should be aware of it as a differential diagnosis for small bowel obstruction because of its rapid progression to strangulation and necrosis. We highlight the importance of recognizing CT findings of paracecal internal hernia. Laparoscopy was effective both for making a definitive diagnosis and treating paracecal hernia with relatively little invasion.
