Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment procedures for malignant pheochromocytoma. Methods 12 cases of malignant pheochromocytoma surgically treated were reviewed.This series comprised of 4 male and 8 female patients.All the tumors were confirmed on surgery and pathological studies. Results All the cases were operated.One died of hypotension after surgery.11 cases have been followed up for 2.5~13.0 years.4 died of recurrence and complication of hypertension.3 died of extensive metastases more then one year after operation.One died of pulmonary infection 4 years after operation and the others have been surviving. Conclusions Imaging procedures are important for the diagnosis of malignant pheochromocytoma.Recurrent tumors greater than 5 cm in diameter and uneven density in the tumor denote malignancy.Prompt radical extirpation of the tumor is the only means to achieve a long survival.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of S100A4 protein and Ecadherin in coloreetal carcinoma. Methods S-P immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of S100A4 and E-cadherin in 87cases with colorectal carcinoma and 87 cases with adjacent colorectal tissue, and the expression of S100A4 and E--cadherin were analyzed with relation to clinicopathologic factors and post-operative five-year survival. Results There was no expression for S100A4 protein in glandular epithelium of adjacent colorectal tissues. The positive expression rate of S100A4 was 64.4 %(56/87) in colorectal carcinoma. There was a significant difference between eolorectal carcinoma and adjacent group(P <0.01). The expression of S100A4 was positively correlated with the clinical stages, lymph node metastasis and five-year survival (P <0.05), but not with other clinicopathalagic factors (P >0.05). There was 100 % expression for E-cadherin in adjacent colorectal tissues. The positive expression rate of Ecadherin was 62.1%(54187) in colorectal carcinoma. There was a significant difference between colorectal carcinoma and adjacent group (P <0.01). The expression of E-cadherin was positively correlated with the clinical stages, lymph node metastasis, tumor site and five-year survival (P <0.05), hut not with other clinicopathologic factors (P >0.05). The expression of S100A4 was negatively correlated to E-cadherin in colorectal carcinoma without statistical meaning(r =-0.087, P >0.05). Conclusion S100A4 and E-cadherin are closely related with colorectal cancer invasion, metastasis and prognosis; S100A4 might be an important predictor of the clinicopathologic features and prognosis of eolorectal carcinoma.
