A 54-year-old man with hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus and fatty liver was referred to our institution for accurate diagnosis of a 4-cm space-occupying lesion in subsegment 6 of the liver, identified on ultrasonography as an iso-to hypointense lesion with clear margins. Dynamic computed tomography disclosed light accumulation of contrast medium at the margins of the space-occupying lesion from the arterial phase through to the venous phase. Sonazoid-enhanced ultrasonography showed staining of the tumor margins in the vascular phase, disappearing in the post-vascular phase. Hepatic arteriography identified the space-occupying lesion as hypervascular. Since accurate diagnosis by imaging was difficult, tumor resection was performed to exclude hepatocellular carcinoma, after obtaining consent from the patient. Histological examination revealed steatohepatitis and sinusoidal dilatation, representing socalled peliosis hepatis, in the surroundings, while the tumor showed mild hepatocellular atypia. On immunohistochemistry, tumor cells were positive for liver fatty acid-binding protein, glutamine synthetase and serum amyloid A, and negative for β-catenin and glypican 3. Glutamine synthetase, in particular, showed strong diffuse staining. Inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma was thus considered the most likely diagnosis. The pathogenesis and outcome of inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma are not fully understood, and this case with concomitant steatohepatitis was considered worth reporting.

Background: Working memory is an executive function that plays an important role in many aspects of daily life, and its impairment in patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects quality of life. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been a good target site for transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) due to its intense involvement in working memory. In our 2018 study, tDCS improved visual-verbal working memory in healthy subjects. Objective: This study examines the effects of tDCS on ADHD patients, particularly on verbal working memory. Methods: We conducted an experiment involving verbal working memory of two modalities, visual and auditory, and a sustained attention task that could affect working memory in 9 ADHD patients. Active or sham tDCS was applied to the left DLPFC in a single-blind crossover design. Results: tDCS significantly improved the accuracy of visual-verbal working memory. In contrast, tDCS did not affect auditory-verbal working memory and sustained attention. Conclusion: tDCS to the left DLPFC improved visual-verbal working memory in ADHD patients, with important implications for potential ADHD treatments.

Warthin’s tumor is the second most frequent neoplasm next to pleomorphic adenoma in the salivary gland. The tumor contains the epithelial oncocyte cells with the presence of rich-mitochondria and their surrounding abundant lymphocytes. A relatively new disease entity of IgG4-related disease frequently occurs in the salivary gland. However, the coexistence of Warthin’s tumor and IgG4-related disease is scarcely observed. We have recently experienced a rare case of Warthin’s tumor with IgG4-related sialadenitis. A 51-year-old man presented to our hospital, complaining of a mass with right submandibular tenderness and spontaneous pain. A computed tomography scan of the cervical region revealed a suspicion of lymph node proliferative disease, including malignant lymphoma. Elevated serum levels of IL-2R: 1843 U/ml (reference value 122 - 496 U/ml), IgG: 3430 mg/dl (reference value 861 - 1747 mg/dl), and IgG4: 3140 mg/dl (reference value 11 - 121 mg/dl) were observed. Other laboratory data showed within normal ranges. The cervical tumor was diagnosed as Warthin’s tumor by the findings of fine-needle aspiration cytology and biopsy examination. Immunohistochemistry revealed numerous IgG4- and IgG-positive cells with fibrosis surrounding the epithelial component of Warthin’s tumor, suggesting IgG4-rerated sialadenitis. Finally, we diagnosed the cervical tumor as Warthin tumor with IgG4-related sialadenitis. This is the second report describing a case of Warthin’s tumor with possible involvement of IgG4-related sialadenitis.
