Abstract Natural killer (NK)-cell enteropathy (NKCE) and lymphomatoid gastropathy (LG) are closely related lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs) composed of mature Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)-negative NK-cells. Although these uncommon indolent lymphoid proliferations mostly arise within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract as their designations implies, a few cases have been reported outside GI tract. We hereby describe unique case lymph node infiltration by such EBV-negative NK-cell proliferation...
Optimal preoperative treatment before colorectal cancer metastases (CRCM) resection remains unclear. This study evaluated pathological responses (pR) in CRCM resected after chemotherapy alone or combined with angiogenesis epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors.Pathological response was retrospectively on 264 from 99 patients. The proportion of responding different treatments reported and compared. Patient's progression-free survival (PFS) overall (OS) were compared based pR.The...
PROCARE, a Belgian multidisciplinary project on rectal cancer (RC), will be launched in 2006. Guidelines have been developed, but remain to implemented.A population-based study RC treatment and outcome Belgium comparison with recent international benchmarks order better define targets that should reached.Anonymous data of 3079 patients registered the National Cancer Registry 1997 1998 were analysed. Observed (OS) relative survival (RS) compared figures from nationwide projects multi-centre...
We present a case involving 67-year-old patient with medical history of gastric bypass who was recently diagnosed 6-centimeter duodenal mass causing biliary duct stenosis. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to access this tumor endoscopically, necessitating surgical intervention. During the exploration, discovered diverticulum filled stones, leading obstruction ductâ?"a manifestation Lemmel syndrome. This rare condition is characterized by obstructive jaundice in absence...
Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-secreting tumor of neuroendocrine origin. It has prevalence <1% in adults with hypertension. In some cases, hypertension associated the classical triad headache, sweating, and tachycardia. Cardiogenic shock due to stress-induced cardiomyopathy caused by catecholamine excess may rarely be initial symptom pheochromocytoma, mimicking Takotsubo Syndrome.We report case 58-year-old female patient pheochromocytoma-induced cardiogenic (PICS) early...
Herniation of the liver through anterior abdominal wall is an extremely rare phenomenon. Most cases occur within incisional hernia (mostly upper abdomen surgery or cardiac surgery). Only two reports mentioned herniation without previous incision. Case Presentation. We report case a 70-year-old woman presenting epigastric swelling. Radiological findings showed in primary ventral hernia. This first to have been described requiring semiurgent repair associated with partial resection.This is,...
<h3>Background</h3> A significant proportion of patients are receiving parenteral nutrition (PN) for elective surgery in our abdominal unit. <h3>Purpose</h3> To assess compliance prescriptions with international guidelines. <h3>Material and methods</h3> Patients who underwent received PN were selected during a 6-month period (January 2013–June 2013). The ESPEN guidelines<sup>1</sup> considered the reference clinical pharmacist assessed conformity guidelines information from medical files....
Current management of metastatic colorectal cancer is based on neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Few studies have reported surgery procedures in patients with cancer. The objective this study was to describe our institutional experience emergency performed during
