This occurred despite a postoperative reduction in endocrine pancreas mass, which may suggest the presence of insulin resistance and diabetogenic effect of pancreatic cancer. The elucidation of the mechanism is of immense importance for providing an early tumor marker and preventative and therapeutic modalities.

A 32-year-old woman developed dyspnea and tachycardia during the 28(th) week of her pregnancy. These symptoms were interpreted initially by the patient as a condition related to the normal state of pregnancy; however, her symptoms persisted over the next two weeks, and she was hospitalized for evaluation. The diagnostic work-up revealed metastatic gastric carcinoma to the pericardium associated with pericardial tamponade. Large pericardial and pleural effusions were the primary causes of her shortness of breath. Gastric cancer is very rare in pregnancy, and therefore may be not be suspected by physicians. Diagnosis may be further delayed because of overlapping symptoms occurring during...

A 70-year old woman admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis and acute cholangitis. She was placed on antibiotic treatment and parenteral fluid resuscitation. On endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, the papilla could not be cannulated because of the duodenal diverticulum. Various attempts at biliary cannulation failed. Endoscopic clips were used for evertion and fixation of a partially everted papilla from the diverticulum and for securing it in an orientation that allowed direct cannulation of the biliary tree. Cholangiography demonstrated multiple calculi within the choledochus. Sh...

Hemorrhage from a Meckel's diverticulum is common in children but extremely rare in adults over 50 years of age. Very few cases have been reported to date and all prior cases were in men. Meckel's diverticulum is commonly overlooked as a possible cause of a lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage in adults. Here, we present the rare case of a 58-year-old woman with massive hemorrhage from a Meckel's diverticulum that was diagnosed by repeated emergency angiographies and treated with elective laparoscopic surgery.

The polyp was characterized by benign-appearing spindle cells in the lamina propria leading to a wide separation and disorganization of the colonic crypts, accompanied by focal erosion and restricted areas suspicious for inflammatory fibroid polyp. The histologic features were found consistent with the disease spectrum of 'benign fibroblastic polyp of the colon' defined by Eslami-Varzaneh et al. The case is presented with a review of the literature and differential diagnostic considerations.

A 46-year-old woman with a history of recurrent mild upper abdominal pain and diarrhea for 10 months was admitted to our hospital. Multiple-phase spiral computed tomography revealed a 10 cm x 8 cm, ill-defined, elliptic mass in the body and tail of the pancreas. There was a slightly heterogeneous enhancement on hepatic arterial phase and isodensity to the pancreatic parenchyma with small dotted necrosis within the middle region of the mass on hepatic portal venous and parenchymal phase, with patent splenic vein, dilated collaterals at the splenic hilum and no dilated pancreatic duct, resembling a diffuse infiltration tumor.

Only selected target cells are deleted in the process of ontogeny, development and regeneration. In contrast, under pathophysiological conditions, apoptosis imposes as a massive, chaotic, non-selective event that may occur for periods or even up to decades. It is likely that apoptosis is the initial cellular response to injury and may thus initiate several, intertwined cellular and cytokine cascades that culminate in tissue injury, inflammation, fibrosis and finally, in cirrhosis. Obviously, this cascade of events is of particular importance in various types of acute and chronic liver diseases. In cont...

However, the association between natural rotavirus infection and intussusception remains an area of concern and controversy. A few studies have found that rotavirus infection can cause intussusception. On the other hand, several studies were unable to find an association of intussusception with natural rotavirus infection.

Therefore, positron emission tomography is a valuable promising option for the evaluation of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and concomitant or metachronous malignancies. Lifelong follow-up by a multidisciplinary oncology team is needed so that a long-term survival can be achieved with integrated multimodal systemic treatment approaches.

On ultrasound examination, displacement of bowel loops to outside the fluid without dispersion of fluid around the liver and spleen were the main findings suggesting the possibility of giant intra-abdominal cysts in our patients. In all three patients, the diagnosis of giant intra-abdominal cysts was confirmed after their total excision. Clinicians must consider processes other than ascites in the differential diagnosis of large abdominal fluid accumulation.

The septated cyst was defined to be 9x12 cm in diameter by abdominal computed tomography and by ultrasonography originated from the tail of the pancreas. Distal pancreatectomy procedure with complete resection of the cystic lesion was performed in this patient. Pathologic examination revealed pancreatic cystic lymphangioma (PCL). Although PCL is very rare in adult patients, it can cause confusion due to the presence of other cystic pathologies of the pancreas. Complete excision of the cyst is mandatory to prevent re...

A mass occupying the right lobe of the liver was excised in a 48-year-old woman, who previously presented with weakness, fever, progressive weight loss, and right upper abdominal pain. The lesion was an unencapsulated light brown tumor (largest diameter 6 cm) without necrosis or hemorrhage. The characteristic histopathological features and the presence of spindle cells expressing smooth muscle actin and anaplastic lymphoma kinase allowed the diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. The present case and the review revealed that inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the liver is not limited to younger age groups and males. Moreover, the rare occurrence of inflammatory myofibr...

She underwent a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the transverse colon. A laparoscopic extended right hemicolectomy was performed. Colonic hemangiomas are very rare vascular malformations and their clinical presentation is usually acute, recurrent or chronic rectal bleeding. This tumor can be diagnosed as solitary, multiple, or part of a more complex syndrome with cutaneous manifestations. They can also invade adjacent structures. Colonoscopy is a useful diagnostic test.

Like the intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, Klatskin tumors also did not express MMP-2. This can be related with its characteristic growth pattern. MMP-9 and MMP- 14 were present in metaplasia, dysplasia carcinoma sequence in all of the bile tract tumors, suggesting that MMPs play an important role in carcinogenesis. The higher expression of the MMPs with neural invasion suggests the significant role of those tumors in the invasion activity.

A 72-year-old Turkish man was admitted to the Department of General Surgery with complaints of epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting for five days. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy evidenced a diffuse infiltrate in the stomach, causing decreased distensibility. Microscopically, superficial chronic inflammation with hyperplastic reactive changes and damaged surface was observed. Histopathological examination of the gastric mucosa showed numerous cross-sections of adult worms, eggs and rhabditiform larvae of S. stercoralis developing in the gastric crypts.

In type I patients, simple cholecystectomy is generally enough, but sometimes T-tube insertion may be required, while the cases with types II-IV require more complex surgical approach, such as cholecystectomy and bilioenteric anastomosis. Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy is an appropriate procedure with good outcome.

Although granular cell tumor of the esophagus has become easily recognizable by its endoscopic features, it has to be differentiated from other benign and malignant mucosal and submucosal lesions. The majority of esophageal granular cell tumors are asymptomatic and benign; thus, close follow-up of the patients with endoscopy could be considered sufficient as a therapeutic management.

Multiple lymphomatous polyposis is characterized by multiple polypoid lesions involving long segments of the gastrointestinal tract and it accounts for 2% of primary gastrointestinal tract lymphomas. A 68-year-old patient was admitted to our clinic with intermittent diarrhea, weight loss, hematochezia and fatigue. Multiple lymphomatous polyposis was detected on the endoscopic evaluations. Gastrointestinal mantle cell lymphoma was confirmed with hist...

Nonocclusive mesentery ischemia, a subgroup of "acute mesentery ischemia", is known as a period of intestinal ischemic hypoperfusion without a demonstrable vascular occlusion in the mesentery bed. It can be caused by factors leading to splanchnic hypoperfusion, which can be of cardiac, renal or hepatic origin. In addition, it can be induced by certain drugs such as digitalis, ergotamines and vasoactive agents. In clinical practice, digitalis toxicity is commonly seen. In contrast, non-occlusive mesentery ischemia secondary to digitalis is quite rare. However, nonocclus...

The pathogenesis and embryology of congenital pouch colon are not well understood, but dietary, environmental factors and familial inheritance may be contributing factors in this pathology. Most of the cases in the literature have been reported from India. This increased regional incidence may be attributed to the lack of awareness of this pathology or its mislabeling rather than regional distribution. Congenital pouch colon is classified into four types based on the length of the abnormal colon. A variable dilatation of ...

The etiology of functional defecation disorders is not well known, but several pathophysiologic mechanisms have been described, including failure of rectoanal coordination, paradoxical anal contraction or insufficient relaxation of anal sphincter during defecation and impairment of rectal sensation as well as secondary slowing of colonic transit. Symptoms alone are inadequate to distinguish patients with defecation disorders from those with other types of constipation. Detailed clinical evaluation and anorectal physiologic tests are required for definitive diagnosis. There is also a pathophysiological association between functional defecation disord...

Methods: Serum samples from 386 children (187 males, 199 females), aged 1-15 years, were tested for the presence of antibody to H. pylori and its virulence factor (CagA) by use of ELISA. ABO blood grouping was also done by hemagglutination test. Results: The overall seroprevalence of H. pylori infection was 46.6%. The prevalence of anti-H. pylori antibody was significantly (p<0.05) higher in males (51.9%) compared to females (41.7%). The prevalence of an...
