    Notes: Abstract Injection sclerotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for esophageal varices. To investigate the fate of esophageal varices embolized with a sclerosant (ethanolamine oleate), we have examined at autopsy the esophageal wall of 14 patients with esophageal varices. When the sclerosant was injected into the varices, at first thrombi formed. After two weeks, granulation tissue appeared and the thrombi were gradually replaced. The granulation tissues were organized slowly after 3 months and in the organized granulation tissue, microscopic recanalization of vessels were seen in 8 out of 9 cases. There was no recurrence of the original varices andde novo varices occurred in one patient. These observations indicate that the varices embolized with ethanolamine oleate become organized in three months after the treatment, and accordingly the esophageal varices are cured. It became also clear that recurrence of the original varices did not occur after the organization.

    Notes: Abstract We report herein the case of an 81-year-old woman found to have small intestinal carcinoma producing carbohydrate antigen (CA)19-9, in whom recurrence on the abdominal wall was strongly suspected 4 months after resection. She presented to our hospital with acute abdominal pain with severe anemia. Marked serum elevation of CA19-9 to 164.8 U/ml suggested a progression to malignancy. A fluorography using an ileus tube revealed an abnormal mucosal pattern. An exploratory laparotomy showed an incomplete annular constrictive Borrmann type 2 tumor, located approximately 190 cm from Treitz's ligament, without any signs of peritoneal or hepatic metastases. Histological examination confirmed a diagnosis of papillotubular adenocarcinoma without metastases of the regional lymph nodes. CA19-9 antigenicity was detected in the cytoplasm and on the surface of the cancer cells, using the monoclonal CA19-9 antibody, NS19-9. In this report, we demonstrate the CA19-9 productivity and distribution of the cancer tissues in relation to their prognosis.
