From September 1998 to September 1999, 14 patients underwent lobectomy and systematic mediastinal lymphadenectomy. We appraised intraoperative two types of lymph nodes: the single digit number (1 through 9) - N2 and the double digit number (10 through 13) - N1. Mediastinal lymph nodes N2 were pathological positive in 4/14 patients and positive lobar nodes in 4/14 patients. In conclusion: systematic staging of mediastinal and lobar lymph nodes is necessary for all patients with resectable non-small-cell lung cancer

Mondor's disease is a benign, self-limited process with spontaneous resolution, which is frequently caused by breast surgery, such as axillary lymph node dissection. We present a case of Mondor's disease that occurred after an axillary osmidrosis operation, which is a less invasive procedure; Mondor's disease may be considered as a possible postoperative complication following an axillary osmidrosis surgery.

Background: Gastric cancer is a common disease in the world. For treatment, gastrectomy is still considered as the first choice. However, recovering of postoperative gastrointestinal circulation remains a controversial issue. Objectives: To assess the early results of 2 methods as gastroduodenostomy (Billroth I type) and gastrojejunostomy (Billroth type II) in recovering of gastrointestinal circulation. Subjects and method: A descriptive, retrospective study was conducted on 98 patients (61 males, 37 females, mean aged 48.1\xb112.7), were confirmed diagnosed with gastric cancer, treated in Military Central Hospital N.108 from May, 2001 to December, 2005. Results: Tumor positions were seen in 1/3 lower and 1/3 middle of gastric organ (59.2% and 40.8%, respective). There was no significant difference for invasive level of tumor between 2 groups (P>0.05). 62.2% patients with invasive level of tumor in stage of T4 in both 2 groups. Generally, the lesion between 2 forms of ulcer and rough differed significantly. The patients with and without metastatic lymph nodes were 57 and 41 patients, respective. All of patients were conducted with lymph node dissection at the stage of DIII-DIV. The difference between 2 groups for surgical time was no statistic significant. Conclusion: Billroth type I method combined with lymph nodes dissection was a safe and feasible technique in treatment of gastric cancer.

Primary endobronchial leiomyosarcoma is a very uncommon tumor and its diagnosis by spontaneous expectoration of tumor fragment has never been reported in the literature, We report a patient with primary endobronchial leiomyosarcoma that was diagnosed by spontaneous expectoration of partial tumor tissue. The expectorated tissue was found to be pathologically consistent with leiomyosarcomal. Right lower lobectomy and all lymph node dissections were performed during the operation. Pathologic examination showed that the tumor was histologically identical to the patient's previous expectorated tissue and was confined to the bronchus and did not invade the adjacent pulmonary parenchyma and lymph nodes.
