The authors present a brief review of the literature with an unusual case presentation of Lisfranc's dislocation. The authors review the mechanism of injury, presentation, and treatment alternatives for both acute trauma-related injuries and neuropathic-related injuries to the Lisfranc's joint. The authors discuss the controversy surrounding the preferred treatment of neuropathic-associated injuries and suggest that possibly criteria may be established for fusion versus conservative care of these injuries.

Splenic Metastases

Abstract Background: Isolated splenic metastasis emanating from colorectal cancer is an extremely rare finding, which usually indicates widely disseminated and multiple metastatic cancer. There have only been 39 cases of isolated splenic metastasis reported in the English literature to date. Case presentation: We report a case of synchronous and isolated multiple splenic metastases derived from rectal cancer. An 84-year-old woman, who presented with and an increased serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level, was diagnosed with rectal cancer with splenic metastases by abdomen computed tomography (CT). The patient underwent a radical resection of rectal cancer and splenectomy, and the postoperative histopathology confirmed that the splenic lesions were derived from the adenocarcinoma of the rectum. After surgery, the patient recovered well and was recommended for further chemotherapy. Conclusion: Our findings enrich the database of this rare clinical entity and provide experience in the management of splenic metastasis. In addition to revealing a rare case, we also performed a literature review, including a brief discussion about the atypical isolated splenic metastasis from colorectal cancer (CRC).

Breast Metastasis

Breast metastasis originating from non-mammary tumors is an uncommon event accounting for 0.5–6.6% of all breast neoplasms. The primary malignancies that reportedly metastasize to the breast most frequently are hematologic malignancies, such as leukemia and lymphoma and malignant melanoma. Breast cancer metastasis resulting from a primary lung neoplasm is significantly less commonly described in the literature. Herein, we present the unusual case of a patient with metastatic disease to the breast from a primary lung tumor.

Abstract Background Vaginal metastasis should be kept in mind when evaluating the staging tests of all cancers, especially endometrial cancer. Case presentation We present four patients with vaginal recurrence who recently applied to our clinic. Three cases were of endometrial cancer and one case of rectal cancer. All patients presented with vaginal bleeding. Conclusion Standard treatment for vaginal metastasis has not yet been established. Therapeutic options for vaginal metastasis—separately or in combination—are surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.

Abstract Background Pulmonary blastoma (PB) comprises a rare heterogeneous group of lung tumours typically containing immature epithelial and mesenchymal structures that imitate the embryonic lung tissue and extremely rarely occurs during pregnancy. Although cough and haemoptysis are the most common PB symptoms, they usually indicate other serious pregnancy-related complications. Case presentation The article presents the unusual case of a 22-year-old pregnant woman diagnosed with PB during pregnancy. Conclusions PB is characterized by poor prognosis and patients’ outcome relies on a rapid diagnosis. Surgery remains the most common and effective treatment. Due to the extreme rarity, the literature contains only single mentions of PB in pregnancy, thus its impact on the course of pregnancy and the developing fetus remains unknown.

Malignant Lesions

Heterotopic pancreas is a congenital pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly rare in the esophagus. Both symptomatology and findings during preoperative examinations are non-specific and therefore do not often lead to an accurate diagnosis, which is usually revealed only by histopathological assessment of a resected specimen. We report an unusual case of a patient suffering from severe dysphagia caused by heterotopic pancreas in the distal esophagus with chronic inflammation and foci of premalignant changes. This article also reviews 14 adult cases of heterotopic pancreas in the esophagus previously reported in the literature, with the aim of determining the clinical features of this disease and possible complications including rare premalignant lesions and malignant transformation. Especially with regard to those complications, we suggest that both symptomatic and incidentally found asymptomatic lesions should be resected.

Purpose: To evaluate the functional outcome of sphincter-preserving rectal resection for low rectal cancer. Materials and Methods: From April 2009 to January 2016, there are 52 patients who underwent sphincter-preserving rectal resection with total mesorectal excision with low rectal cancer (<6cm from the anal verge) at Hue Central Hospital, Hue, Vietnam. Results: the average age 62.7 ± 12.8, the distance of tumor from anal verge include four group (≤ 3cm 1.9%; 3 to ≤ 4cm 17.3%; 4 to ≤ 5cm 34.6%; > 5 cm). T stage T1/ T2/T3: 1.9%/28.8%/69.2%. The following time is 33.8 ± 18.9 month. Overall recurrence was 13/18(27.1%), local recurrence was 5 (10.4%). Total survival was 40.5 ± 2.9 month. Technique: intersphincteric preservation 14 (26.9%), low anterior resection 17 (32.7%) and pull-through procedure 21 (40.4%). The distance of anatomosis from anal verge: from 1 to ≤ 2 cm:14 (26.9%); from 2 to ≤ 3cm: 21 (40.4%); from 3 to ≤ 4 cm: 17 (32.7%). Bowels movement of 3 month: 4.7 ± 3.2 and 12th month: 2.7 ± 1.6 (p< 0.01). Conclusions: Sphincterpreserving rectal resection using may provide a good continence and oncologic safety. The patients are acceptable with the results of functional outcomes. Key words: Low rectal cancer, sphincter-preserving

T1 Rectal Cancer

The Ferguson Operating Anoscope (FOA) is a surgical instrument, which can facilitate transanal excision of appropriate rectal tumors within 15 cm of the anal verge. Previous work showed low recurrence (4.3%) for favorable T1 tumors (no lymphovascular invasion, well/moderate differentiation, negative margins). This follow-up study evaluates outcomes in rectal cancer excised with FOA at a tertiary care center. T1 rectal cancer patients were identified in a prospectively maintained database. Tumor pathology and patient characteristics were reviewed. Primary outcomes include tumor recurrence and patient and disease-free survival. Secondary outcomes are quality of excision (intact specimen). Twenty-eight patients had pathologic stage T1 rectal cancer (average 8 ± 2.6 cm from the anal verge). Final path demonstrated 14 per cent to be well differentiated, 82 per cent moderately differentiated, and 93 per cent without angiolymphatic invasion. All specimens removed were intact. One patient had a true local recurrence and underwent a salvage operation 24 months after her index operation. Patient survival was 96.4 per cent (n = one death from primary lung cancer) at median follow-up 64 ± 35 months. With appropriate tumor selection and quality of initial resection, FOA has demonstrated utility in achieving optimal oncologic resection of T1 rectal tumors.
