Abstract
Objectives Endoscopic submucosal resection with band ligation (ESMR‐L) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are both standard endoscopic resection methods for rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) <10 mm in size. However, there is no definitive consensus on which is better. Here, we compared the efficacy of ESMR‐L and ESD for small rectal NETs. Methods This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study including 205 patients with rectal NETs who underwent ESMR‐L or ESD. Treatment outcomes were compared by univariate analysis, multivariate analysis, and inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) using propensity scores. Subgroup analysis evaluated the impact of the endoscopist's experience on the technical outcome. Results Eighty‐nine patients were treated by ESMR‐L and 116 by ESD. The R0 resection rate was not significantly different between the two (90% vs. 92%, p = 0.73). The procedure time of ESMR‐L was significantly shorter than for ESD (17 min vs. 52 min, p < 0.01) and the hospitalization period was also significantly shorter (3 days vs. 5 days, p < 0.01). These results were confirmed by multivariate analysis and also after IPTW adjustment. The procedure time of ESD was significantly prolonged by a less‐experienced endoscopist (49 min vs. 70 min, p = 0.02), but that of ESMR‐L was not affected (17 min vs. 17 min, p = 0.27). Conclusions For small rectal NETs, both ESMR‐L and ESD showed similar high complete resection rates. However, considering the shorter procedure time and shorter hospitalization period, ESMR‐L is the more efficient treatment method, especially for less‐experienced endoscopists.

Abstract
In our series of 366 patients who received intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for prostate cancer, radiation proctitis developed in 24 patients. We examined the endoscopic evidence and clinical characteristics of radiation proctitis in these patients. The onset time was 2-29 months after treatment, with bloody bowel discharge being the most common symptom (22 cases). Colonoscopy revealed that the lesions tended to be concentrated on the rectal right anterior wall. Severity, according to the Tada classification, was 0b or Ia in 70.8% of all cases. The incidence of radiation proctitis decreased, and the clinical and endoscopic findings showed only mild radiation proctitis after IMRT.

Abstract
A 31-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of epigastric discomfort and severe lumbago. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed several submucosallike tumors. Histologic examination of biopsy specimens confirmed the presence of endocrine cell carcinoma. Gallium scintigraphy and CT revealed multiple bone metastasis. He was treated with 6 cycles of combination chemotherapy consisting of CDDP, etoposide, CPA, EPI and VCR. Both gastric tumors and bone metastasis completely disappeared. After 7 cycles of the chemotherapy, he was treated with HDCT with PBSCT. There was no severe complication. This result suggested that the combination of conventional chemotherapy and HDCT with PBSCT was useful in cancer patients with poor prognoses, such as advanced gastric endocrine cell carcinoma.

Abstract
We report herein the case of a 62-year-old woman who presented to our hospital for investigation of occasional pain in her left breast. Although there was no mass palpable in her left breast, mammography and ultrasonography revealed a round tumor in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast. Although the mammography findings indicated that the tumor was benign, the possibility of a malignant neoplasm could not be ruled out by the ultrasonographic images. A final diagnosis of schwannoma was established by histopathological examination of the excised mass.

Abstract
The immunohistochemical localization of group II phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in normal fetal and adult human pancreases, 5 chronic pancreatitis, and 30 pancreatic ductal carcinomas was investigated. Furthermore, pancreatic carcinoma cases were correlated with histologic type, tumor size, vascular involvement, lymphatic involvement, perineural invasion, lymph node metastasis, amount of interstitial tissue in the tumor, growth pattern of the tumor, and clinical stage. In the normal pancreases, almost all of acinar cells and a few cells of small and large ducts were immunoreactive in a supranuclear pattern. In chronic pancreatitis, immunoreactivity was retained in several acini, islet cells, and ductal cells, but the staining was diminished in acinal cells of atrophic lobules. A strong immunoreactivity was found in the cells of hyperplastic ducts. In pancreatic ductal carcinomas, the immunoreactivity was observed in 25 cases (83%). Eighteen of 25 (72%) immunoreactive cases showed a cytoplasmic granular or luminal surface pattern, both of which were not observed in the normal pancreas. Among the clinicopathological parameters of pancreatic cancer, the incidence of expression of this enzyme was significantly higher in infiltrative type cancers than in expansive and localized tumors. Furthermore, the expression of group II PLA2 was significantly higher in the tumor with larger amount of interstitial tissue than in that with smaller amounts of interstitial tissue. These results suggest that expression of group II PLA2 in human pancreatic ductal carcinomas is possibly involved in the proliferation of interstitial tissue directly or indirectly through prostaglandin production.

Abstract
A 56-year-old male with a 11-month history of late-onset epilepsy was hospitalized because of status epilepticus. The physical examination and laboratory data were normal. Neurological examination revealed weakness of the right leg. Coronal computed tomography showed a mass of slightly high density in the bilateral parietal convexity, with homogeneous enhancement by contrast medium. Magnetic resonance imaging disclosed an en-plaque epidural tumor in the parietal region along the superior sagittal sinus, which was normointense on T1- and T2-weighted images. Conventional and digital subtraction angiography showed an avascular mass between the superior sagittal sinus and the inner table of the skull at the parietal region. The mass was thought to be situated in the parietal epidural space. On surgery, however, the tumor was found to be located mainly in the dura and subdural space. The histological diagnosis was malignant lymphoma of the B cell type. Ga-scintigraphy, physical examination, and bone marrow and peripheral blood examinations disclosed no systemic abnormalities. Therefore, the tumor was interpreted as a primary intracranial malignant lymphoma. Reports of primary intracranial malignant lymphoma have been increasing, but most have been located in the cerebrum. The dural-subdural location in this case is evidently rare.

Abstract
This study was done to investigate which histologic type of lung cancer is prevalent among male Japanese copper smelter workers. A panel of eight pathologists was asked to diagnose uniformly prepared materials for 19 occupational series, 87 nonoccupational bronchogenic carcinomas, and 14 benign lesions. The consensus diagnosis was used as reference. The reference diagnoses and the originals without materials employed for verification were designated as finals. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most frequent cell type in the occupational group, which comprised 21 (75.0%) of 28 histologically proven cases. There were three (10.7%) small cell carcinomas, one (3.6%) large cell carcinoma, and three (10.7%) adenocarcinomas. The proportion of Kreyberg group I in the occupational cases was significantly larger than that of lung cancers in the population-based cancer registries in Japan. These findings are compatible with Kreyberg's hypothesis. Above all, squamous and small cell carcinomas were prominent and appeared to be environmentally related bronchogenic carcinomas.

Abstract
To estimate variability and reliability in histologic diagnosis (Dx) of lung cancers, lung cancer preparations were divided into eight equal sets and diagnosed independently by an eight-man pathology panel. Majority Dx (Dx affirmed by more than 4 panelists) was regarded as the consensus Dx of each cancer. The consensus rate of each panelist ranged from 78.8% to 96.1% with an average of 89.4%. The consensus rates were not significantly different among the panelists. Relatively high inter-pathologist agreement was observed in squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and small cell carcinoma. However, regarding large cell carcinoma, there was occasional disagreement among the panelists. Forty-seven cancers were reexamined by the same panelists, with no preliminary announcement, 7 months after the first examination to study the intra-pathologist agreement. The rate of the intra-pathologist agreement ranged from 76.6% to 93.3%. Dx of large cell carcinoma was the most intra-changeable. It was concluded that the histologic Dx of large cell carcinoma was the most inter- and intra-changeable, and the most frequent dissenting Dx from it was poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
In order to estimate the magnitude of variations among pathologists in histological diagnoses of lung cancer, eight doctors were asked to independently diagnose 73 preparations of the lung (16 biopsied cancers, 27 resected specimens, 21 autopsied specimens and nine benign autopsied cases). The rates of correct diagnoses by the pathologists ranged from 81.7% to 100%, averaging 91.8%. There was no significant difference between the lowest rate and mean or median of the rates. The variation of the diagnosis tended to be more prominent in large cell carcinoma than in adenocarcinoma or small cell and squamous cell carcinoma. It was suggested that the diagnostic criteria for large cell carcinoma varied to some extent among pathologists.
