RESUMEN
The effectiveness of TC therapy, a non-anthracycline regimen, was determined through the US Oncology 9735 trial, which was conducted overseas. This led to high expectations regarding the use of TC therapy as a postoperative adjuvant treatment for early-stage breast cancer. We studied 38 patients with breast cancer who underwent TC treatment in our department between August 2008 and November 2009, and discussed the development of side effects in the patients. Continuation of TC therapy on an outpatient basis was considered possible if exanthema and edema were adequately managed.

Duplication of the alimentary tract is a developmental anomaly, which may affect any part of the digestive tract from the mouth to the anus. Esophageal duplication cyst is caused by an incomplete differentiation of the foregut. We report a case of esophageal duplication cyst resected using video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Chest radiography of a 23-year-old woman showed an abnormal shadow. Chest computed tomography (CT) indicated a cystic lesion adjacent to the descending aorta and the esophagus. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed that the cystic lesion was filled with protein-rich fluid. The lesion was resected using VATS, and it was pathologically diagnosed to be an esophageal duplication cyst.

A 58-year-old man visited our department regarding a growing ground-glass opacity (GGO) on chest CT. He underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery, because a malignancy such as bronchioloalveolar adenocarcinoma was suspected. However, histopathologic examination revealed pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). A chest X-ray film of PAP usually shows bilateral interstitial and/or alveolar shadows in a "butterfly pattern", while chest CT usually shows thickened interlobular septa and intralobular structures, referred to as a "crazy-paving appearance". The present case presented solitary localized GGO growing in a subpleural area which was thought to be a rare type of early PAP.
