Diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of a glucagonoma in a patient with residual intrahepatic metastases postoperatively: A case report and literature review
Oncol Lett. 2024 Mar 11;27(5):202. doi: 10.3892/ol.2024.14336. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTGlucagonomas are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms of the pancreas with malignant potential. At present, their epidemiology is not entirely clear, so clinicians are not well versed, lacking any consensus on diagnosis or comprehensive treatment. The present study reports the case of a 32-year-old woman hospitalized for recurrent glossitis, perioral dermatitis and necrolytic migratory erythema (NME) of both lower limbs. Imaging studies revealed a low-density nodule (~2 cm) in the tail of the pancreas, as well as multiple space-occupying h...

[ < sup > 18 < /sup > F]FDOPA PET/CT in Solid Pseudopapillary Tumor of the Pancreas: a Recurred Tumor Mimicking Splenosis
Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2024 Apr;58(2):81-85. doi: 10.1007/s13139-023-00826-1. Epub 2023 Oct 5.ABSTRACTSolid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is a neoplasm with low malignant potential. It is often challenging to diagnose SPT due to its nonspecific clinical and radiological features, and [18F]FDOPA is effective in diagnosing SPT, particularly in differentiating SPT from benign conditions such as splenosis. A 55-year-old woman underwent distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy for histologically confirmed SPT. She was also initially diagnosed with splenosis. During follow-up, sizes of multiple nodular lesions were inc...

Splenectomy is Associated With More Complications Than Spleen Preservation in Patients With Blunt Abdominal Trauma
The spleen is involved in almost 32% of abdominal trauma. In recent years, the substitution of the surgical treatment of blunt splenic injury with a nonoperative management in selected cases has occurred. The aim of this study is to compare the group of patients undergoing splenectomy with conservative treatment and embolization when necessary. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Predictors of portal vein thrombosis after splenectomy in patients with cirrhosis
CONCLUSION: Wider PVD and MELD score > 10 were independent predictors of PVT at 1 months, 3 months, and 12 months after splenectomy in patient with cirrhosis.PMID:38495270 | PMC:PMC10941749 | DOI:10.4254/wjh.v16.i2.241 (Source: World Journal of Hepatology)
