A 79-year-old female with hepatocellular carcinoma with portal invasion and right adrenal gland metastasis was treated by low dose UFT (200 mg/day). Two months after the initiation of UFT administration, CT scan revealed marked contraction of the primary liver tumor and right adrenal metastasis. Serum AFP and PIVKA-II were also reduced, and right flank pain disappeared. Six months later, CT scan and MRI study were performed. The findings of liver and metastatic lesion were the same as in the earlier study, and the liver function and the patient condition were well controlled. This case is probably rare, but suggestive in the choice of treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

A rare case of CA19-9 producing tumor in undescended testis was presented. A forty-three year old man visited to our hospital with a chief complaint of left flank pain. Serum tumor markers (AFP, beta-HCG, and CA19-9) were elevated. Abdominal CT scan demonstrated large solid mass with multilocular cysts were capsulated. The tumor resection was performed after 3 courses of CEB (Carboplatin, Etoposide, and Bieomycin) chemotherapy. Macroscopically, the tumor was consisted of necrotic mass and multilocular cysts. The tumor size was 25 x 8 x 5 cm and weight was 1000 g. Microscopically, the large part of tumor was necrotic due to chemotherapy, and the teratoma component which was consist of neural, muscular, and digestive tissue was seen in some area. In conclusion, this is a rare case of mixed germ-cell tumor in undescended testis located in abdomen.
