Proliferative pancreatic cysts are subdivided into microcystic and mucinous cystadenomas. These rare, slow-growing, multilocular lesions usually remain localized for long periods of time, therefore frequently becoming rather sizeable before becoming symptomatic. Patients present with intermittent
BACKGROUND
Lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas is a rare benign lesion which often presents as an incidental radiological finding, but may cause symptoms, such as abdominal pain and nausea. It can occur at any location in the pancreas. The differential diagnosis includes primary splenic cysts,
Gastric duplication cysts are rare cystic neoplasms that are often difficult to distinguish from other entities. We describe a healthy 44-year-old woman who presented with acute right lower quadrant abdominal and flank pain as well as chronic nausea and constipation. Her physical examination was
Congenital pancreatic lesions are relatively uncommon, but they are frequently encountered during radiologic examination as an incidental finding in asymptomatic patients. However, some of these entities may produce symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and gastric outlet obstruction.
Pancreatic localization of hydatid cyst is uncommon. We report a case of a 49-year-old woman who presented with abdominal discomfort, nausea and vomiting. The diagnosis of pancreatic cyst with splenomegaly and portal hypertension was supported on ultrasound, CT-scan and endoscopic ultrasound.
BACKGROUND
Childhood Pancreatitis is an uncommon but serious condition with incidence on the rise. It manifests as acute or chronic form with epigastric pain, vomiting and elevated serum -amylase and lipase. This study was conducted with the aim to determine the clinical presentation, aetiology, and
BACKGROUND
Elevated pancreatic duct pressure is a potential source of pain in patients with chronic pancreatitis. Endoscopic pancreatic duct stenting is a minimally invasive way of reducing this pressure and may be a useful adjunct to surgery in these patients.
METHODS
We prospectively reviewed a
Fungal infections of the pancreas have been shown to occur most commonly in the setting of necrotizing pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, or pancreatic abscesses. Pancreatic fungal infections are rare without these predisposing factors, and may present similarly to pancreatic neoplasm. We report the
BACKGROUND
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a technique frequently used to diagnose solid and cystic lesions of the pancreas. Antibiotic prophylaxis has been recommended for EUS-FNA of pancreatic cystic lesions but is not universally observed. The most effective
A 47-year-old Japanese woman with a history of epigastric pain and a recent episode of acute pancreatitis (back pain, nausea, and vomiting) and anemia was found to have a pancreatic cyst of the tail on CT-scan and ultrasonography. Especially, ultrasonography revealed the papillary solid lesion in
Pancreatic cysts include inflammatory lesions, low-grade neoplasms, and malignant neoplasms. Cystic neoplasms may prompt investigation because of symptoms such as abdominal pain, distension, jaundice, or nausea, but they are usually incidentally discovered. In the older literature, pseudocysts
Recent advances in imaging techniques such as dynamic intravenous contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have enabled us to detect pancreatic cysts, some of which are potentially malignant. As the histopathological diagnosis cannot be confirmed
OBJECTIVE
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is commonly performed in conjunction with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedures. The complication rate associated with FNA is considered to be low but requires further evaluation with prospective studies.
METHODS
A total of 483 consecutive patients who
BACKGROUND
The natural history of pancreatic cystic neoplasms remains poorly understood despite growing evidence on the subject. Pancreatic cysts display a wide spectrum of pathological phenotypes, each associated with a different prognostic implication. Many pancreatic cysts are of undetermined
