Abstract Brain metastases from esophageal cancer is rare and the incidence has been reported at approximately 5%. We report a case of brain metastases with repeated bleeding from Esophageal carcinoma. The case is a 76-year-old man. Three years ago he was diagnosed with small cell carcinoma of the esophagus by endoscopic biopsy. Metastasis was found only in the cervical lymph node, but the condition was stable by chemoradiotherapy and no metastases were found throughout the body before 1 month. He was admitted to the hospital because of a sudden convulsion, and CT scan revealed cerebral hemorrhage in the right frontal lobe. We performed conservative treatment, but rebleeding was observed from the same site repeatedly after 1 month and 2 months. Due to the influence of bleeding, it was difficult to distinguish cerebral hemorrhage from brain tumor by contrast MRI. After surgery, the cause of bleeding was diagnosed as metastatic brain tumor of esophageal small cell carcinoma. Postoperative radiation therapy was performed in another hospital, but rebleeding was observed 3 months after the operation. A reoperation was performed at another hospital, and a recurrence of metastatic brain tumor was diagnosed. In the case of highly malignant metastatic brain tumors, it was considered necessary to frequently follow the images.

✓ The authors report the case of a man who had suffered a penetrating metal splinter injury to the left frontal lobe at 18 years of age. Thirty-seven years later the patient developed a left-sided frontal tumor at the precise site of the meningocerebral scar and posttraumatic defect. Histological examination confirmed a glioblastoma multiforme adjacent to the dural scar and metal splinters. In addition, a chronic abscess from which Propionibacterium acnes was isolated was found within the glioma tissue. The temporal and local association of metal splinter injury with chronic abscess, scar formation, and malignant glioma is highly suggestive of a causal relationship between trauma and the development of a malignant brain tumor.

Abstract A recurrent malignant glioma was treated with cisplatin delivered directly into the tumor. The drug was delivered via 68 small catheters distributed evenly throughout the tumor area. Each catheter was connected to an osmotic minipump that delivered 0.5 ml of drug solution each hour for 10 days. There were no side effects from the catheter implantation, chemotherapy, or catheter removal. Although the chemotherapy halted progression of the tumor, it recurred, and the patient died 6 months after treatment.
