Spindle cell carcinoma (SpCC) is referred to as a variant of oral squamous cell carcinoma. It is also known as "sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma" because it consists of normal squamous carcinoma cells with spindle-shaped cells that appear similar to a sarcoma. The term, "second primary tumor" (SPT) or "double primary tumor", is proposed for a second tumor that develops independently from the first. SPTs can present as either synchronous or metachronous lesions. Synchronous SPTs are defined as tumors occurring simultaneously or within 6 months after the first tumor. The patient in this case, whose primary tumor was in the tongue, was diagnosed with SpCC with metastases to both neck lymph nodes. This case also exhibited a second primary cancer as a synchronous lesion in the thyroid gland, which is uncommon. All carcinomas, both in the tongue and thyroid gland, were removed surgically, and especially in the tongue, an anterolateral thigh free flap was performed successfully to replace the defect.

전 세계적으로 위선암은 두 번째로 많은 암 사망의 원인을 차지하며 지역에 따라 유병률의 차이를 보인다. 한편 위장관 간질종양은 다양한 악성도를 갖는 드문 질환이다. 지금까지의 연구결과에 따르면 이 두 종양은 서로 상이한 발병기전을 가지고 있는 것으로 생각되며, 두 종양이 한 환자에서 동시성으로 발병하는 경우는 매우 드물다. 환자는 64세 남자로, 우연히 발견된 위의 종괴 및 궤양 병변으로 본원에 의뢰되었다. 수술 전 검사를 시행한 뒤 위전절제술을 시행하였고, 9 cm 크기의 위장관 간질종양 및 유문부의 조기위암이 동시에 존재하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 현상은 드물지만 위선암의 유병률이 높은 지역에서는 일어날 수 있는 일일 것으로 생각되며, 지금까지 보고된 문헌들에 대한 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Multiple primary lung cancer is not common and classified as a synchronous primary lung cancer and a metachronous primary lung cancer. We experienced one case of the triple synchronous primary lung cancer of different cell types. We conducted right pneumonectomy for preoperative diagnosed neuronendocrine tumor of the RUL and adenocarcinoma of the RLL. Pathologic examination revealed the carcinoid tumor of RUL bronchus, the squamous carcinoma of the RML and the adenocarcinoma of the RLL.

한 환자에게 동시에 발생한 흉부 지방종과 복부 복직근 내 신경초종 1예의 경험을 보고하고자 한다. 신경초종은 드물게 보이는 양성 종양이며 신경 조직에서 유발하는 것으로 주로 사지 굴곡부의 말초신경에서 발생한다. 저자들은 63세 남자환자에서 복부 복직근 내 발생한 신경초종과 흉부의 지방종을 동시에 경험하여 이를 보고하고자 한다.

Warthin's tumor is the second most common tumor of the parotid gland after pleomorphic adenoma. It is well known to occur as bilateral and multiple patterns. The incidence of extraparotid Warthin's tumor (EPWT) is about 2.7% to 12%, peri-parotid and upper cervical area are the most common sites. Warthin's tumor with synchronous intraparotid and extraparotid area is extremely rare, only a few cases have been reported. We report a-71-year old man with unilateral swelling of the parotid area and upper neck, pathologically confirmed Warthin's tumor with literature review.

Collision tumor is a synchronous neoplasm wherein two histologically distinct tumors co-exist within the same anastomosis site. Collision tumor can occur in any organ, but the incidence is markedly rare. Additionally, preoperative diagnosis can be challenging to the radiologist. Herein, we report an age 60 male with collision tumor of rectal adenocarcinoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, presented as a semi-annular wall thickening and bulky exophytic mass on MR imaging.

Multiple primary malignant neoplasms occur relatively frequently today and are important especially in the head and neck area for they usually carry a bad prognosis. Detection of a synchronous primary tumor at the time of initial work-up is crucial both for management and final outcome. The first case was a T1 hypopharyngeal cancer with a mid-esophageal second primary who complained of a huge neck node. The second case was a T3 hypopharyngeal cancer who was initially seen by the chest surgeons for a large lower esophageal tumor. The third case was a patient previously operated for stomach adenocarcinoma three years ago, who had newly developed symptoms like dysphagia and hoarseness, and was diagnosed as hypopharyngeal T3 with oropharyngeal second primary cancer. Three cases were all heavy smokers and had histories of heavy alcohol consumption. They were all treated at the same sitting by en-block resection of the involved organs and postoperative radiation therapy. The authors have recently experienced 3 cases of synchronous second primary cancers in association with hypopharyngeal cancer and a report is made.

Background: The optimal surgical strategy for the treatment of synchronous resectable gastric cancer liver metastases remains controversial. The aims of this study were to analyze the outcome and overall survival of patients presenting with gastric cancer and liver metastases treated by simultaneous resection. Materials and Methods: Between January 1990 and June 2009, 35 patients diagnosed with synchronous hepatic metastases from gastric carcinoma received simultaneous resection of both primary gastric cancer and synchronous hepatic metastases. The clinicopathologic features and the surgical results of the 35 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The 5-year overall survival rate after surgery was 14.3%. Five patients survived for more than 5 years after surgery. No mortality has occurred within 30 days after resection, although two patients (5.7%) developed complications during the peri-operative course. Univariate analysis revealed that patients with the presence of lymphovascular invasion of the primary tumor, bilateral liver metastasis and multiple liver metastases suffered poor survival. Lymphovascular invasion by the primary lesion and multiple liver metastases were significant prognostic factors that influenced survival in the multivariate analysis (p=0.02, p=0.001, respectively). Conclusions: The presence of lymphovascular invasion of the primary tumor and multiple liver metastases are significant prognostic determinants of survival. Gastric cancer patients without lymphovascular invasion and with a solitary synchronous liver metastasis may be good candidates for hepatic resection. Simultaneous resection of both primary gastric cancer and synchronous hepatic metastases may effectively prolong survival in strictly selected patients.

Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that are usually benign in nature. They may be either familial or sporadic in their occurrence. Numerous neuroendocrine tumors are collectively included under the umbrella of paragangliomas. Among them, carotid body tumors and glomus jugulare tumors are extremely rare. Thus, we present a rare case of 29-year-old male who was admitted with hearing difficulties and tinnitus in the left ear, with swelling on the left side of the neck. Based on clinical and radiological findings, a diagnosis of left-sided glomus jugulare with carotid body tumor was made. The patient underwent a two-stage surgery with an interval of approximately 2 months. Histopathology revealed a paraganglioma. Herein, we present the clinical features, imaging findings, management, and a brief review of literature on the classification, evaluation, and management of carotid body and glomus jugulare tumors. Paraganglioma is a slow-growing tumor. The synchronous occurrence of carotid body and glomus jugulare tumors is infrequent. Microsurgical resection remains the primary treatment modality. Therefore, our patient underwent two-stage surgery. The rarity of occurrence and the proximity and adherence to vital neurovascular structures have resulted in the treatment of paragangliomas remaining a challenge.

저등급 골육종은 전형적 골육종에 비해 발생 빈도가 훨씬 드물고, 호발 연령도 전형적 골육종에 비해 높은 것으로 나타나 있다. 본 교실에서는 12세 여아에서 좌측 경골, 대퇴골 경부 및 간부, 그리고 좌측 비구에 발생한 다발성 저급성 골육종 1예를 경험하였다. 본 증례는 예외적으로 소아에 발생하였고, 그리고 다발성 소견을 나타내어 동시성(synchronous) 혹은 이시성(metachronous) 전이의 양상을 띠고 있었다. 더욱이 저급성 골육종은 일반적으로 느린 성장 과정을 보이기 때문에, 본 증례에서 보이는 전이의 양상에 대해서는 희귀하여 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
