Abstract
Observation of the microvasculature using narrow band imaging (NBI) with magnifying endoscopy is useful for diagnosing superficial squamous cell carcinoma. Increased vascular density is indicative of cancer, but not many studies have reported differences between cancerous and noncancerous areas based on an objective comparison. We observed specimens of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using NBI magnification, and determined the vascular density of cancerous and noncancerous areas. A total of 25 lesions of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that were dissected en bloc by ESD between July 2013 and December 2013 were subjected to NBI magnification. We constructed a device that holds an endoscope and precisely controls the movement along the vertical axis in order to observe submerged specimens by NBI magnification. NBI image files of both cancerous (pathologically determined invasion depth, m1/2) and surrounding noncancerous areas were created and subjected to vascular density assessment by two endoscopists who were blinded to clinical information. The invasion depth was m1/2 in 20, m3/sm1 in four and sm2 in one esophageal cancer lesion. Mean vascular density was significantly increased in cancerous areas (37.6 ± 16.3 vessels/mm2) compared with noncancerous areas (17.6 ± 10.0 vessels/mm2) (P < 0.05). The correlation coefficients between vascular density determined by two endoscopists were 0.86 and 0.81 in cancerous and noncancerous areas, respectively. Receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis revealed that the area under the curve (AUC) of vascular density was 0.895 (95% CI, 0.804-0.986). For this ROC curve, sensitivity was 78.3% and specificity was 87.0% when the cutoff value of vascular density was 26 vessels/mm2. NBI magnification confirmed significant increases in vascular density in cancerous areas compared with noncancerous areas in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The rates of agreement between vascular density values determined by two independent operators were high.

Abstract
The classification of neoplasms of adenohypophysial cells is misleading because of the simplistic distinction between adenoma and carcinoma, based solely on metastatic spread and the poor reproducibility and predictive value of the definition of atypical adenomas based on the detection of mitoses or expression of Ki-67 or p53. In addition, the current classification of neoplasms of the anterior pituitary does not accurately reflect the clinical spectrum of behavior. Invasion and regrowth of proliferative lesions and persistence of hormone hypersecretion cause significant morbidity and mortality. We propose a new terminology, pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET), which is consistent with that used for other neuroendocrine neoplasms and which recognizes the highly variable impact of these tumors on patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective was to assess involvement of loss of the PRKAR1A gene encoding a type 1α regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A located on 17q24 in a Carney complex (CNC)-related pituitary adenoma. DESIGN We investigated aberrations of the PRKAR1A gene in a CNC patient with a GH-producing pituitary adenoma, whose family has three other members with probable CNC. METHODS A gene mutation was identified by a standard DNA sequencing method based on PCR. DNA copy number was measured to evaluate allelic loss on 17q24 by quantitative PCR. The breakpoints of deletion were determined by cloning a rearranged region in the deleted allele. RESULTS A PRKAR1A mutation of c.751_758del8 (p.S251LfsX16) was found in genomic DNA obtained from a pituitary adenoma, but not leukocytes from the patient. Reduced DNA copy number at loci including the PRKAR1A gene on 17q24 was detected in both the tumor and leukocytes, suggesting a deletion at the loci at the germline level. The deletion size was determined to be ∼ 0.5 Mb and this large deletion was also found in two other family members. CONCLUSION This is the first case showing a CNC-related pituitary adenoma with the combination of somatic mutation and a large inherited deletion of the PRKAR1A gene. Biallelic inactivation of PRKAR1A appears to be necessary for the development of CNC-related pituitary adenoma.

Abstract
e11600 Background: Precise assessment of HER-2 is critical in breast cancers and predicts benefit of trastuzumab (T). Although subset analysis of CALGB 9840 suggests benefit in FISH-negative patients with chromosome 17 polysomy (C17), clinical significance of C17 in FISH-positive patients is still less known. To analyze the epidemiologic feature of C17 in Japanese patients, consecutive operable breast cancer patients during 05–07 treated in single institution were studied. Methods: HER-2 status of consecutive 307 patients excluding DCIS and whose specimens were poor quality for study, were analyzed with Pathvysion (FISH). We defined HER- 2 (+) and C17 as HER-2/chromosome 17 ratio ≥ 2.2 and CEP ratio ≥ 2.2, respectively. Pathological response following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) was assigned according to the Japanese Breast Cancer Society (G3; no invasive or in situ residual tumor in the breast, G2; up to two thirds of primary cancer cells having pathologically severe changes or disappearance, G1; up to one third to two thirds of primary cancer cells having pathologically severe changes or disappearance). Results: HER-2 (+) was found in 22% (67/307) and C17 in 25% (77/307). Twenty-four of 67(36%) in HER-2 (+) had C17 and 53 of 240 (22%) in HER-2 (-) did C17. Among HER-2 (+), 23 cases received T-contained regimens as NACT (FEC/EC followed by PAC+T in 18 and DOC+CPA+T in 5). Six of 9 (67%) with C17 had G3 and 2 of 14 (14%) with non-C17 did G3. CEP ratio significantly predicts to have G3 (p=0.02) but HER-2/chromosome 17 ratio by logistic regression analysis. Conclusions: C17 was found in 25% of Japanese operable breast cancer patients of which was similar to that of CALGB. CEP ratio is a good predictive marker for chemo- sensitivity in HER-2 (+) subset. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
A total of 69 gastric carcinomas of very old people (aged > or = 85) were collected and pathologically analyzed in comparison with those of young to middle-aged (30-39) and elderly (65-69) people, with special attention to their phase. In the very old, almost all (34/35) carcinomas in the early phase belonged to well-differentiated categories. In the advanced phase, half of them (17/34) were classified into poorly differentiated categories when determined from the predominant pattern, but a well-differentiated pattern almost always coexisted in the superficial site. Thus, the gastric carcinomas in the very old may principally develop as well-differentiated carcinomas which then progress to poorly differentiated carcinomas with time, in contrast to those of the young to middle-aged, most of which emerged from the very early phase as poorly differentiated lesions. The gross features of the carcinomas were also in line with these histological observations. The carcinomas of the elderly showed distinct similarity to those of the very old. The results suggest that poorly differentiated carcinomas of the young to middle-aged and the old may be better classified and analyzed separately in view of the generally recognized etiological (e.g., specifically close causal relationship with environmental factors of the intestinal-type carcinoma of the old) and biological (e.g., practically no tendency for hematogenous metastasis of the diffuse-type carcinoma of the young to middle-aged) differences, although in the General Rules for Gastric Cancer Study of Japan, both are placed in the same category, por (por2).

Abstract
Recently cases of ganglioneurocytoma and cerebral neurocytoma, very rare variants of central neurocytoma, have been reported. The former is characterized by differentiation toward ganglion cells and the latter by extraventricular origin in the cerebrum, but their existence as distinct clinicopathological entities, is controversial. We report an unusual case of neurocytoma, which arose extraventricularly from the frontal lobe, formed a large cystic lesion and showed ganglioid differentiation, in a 11-year-old girl. Following subtotal tumor resection, she showed a satisfactory clinical course and no evidence of recurrence. This is a very rare case of central neurocytoma-like tumor outside the ventricular system and also of ganglioneurocytoma. This case may provide some insight into the tumorigenesis and widen the clinicopathological concept of neurocytoma.
