We report a case of sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) the spleen presenting as an incidental splenic mass in patient with history retroperitoneal spindle cell sarcoma. Imaging studies and preoperative fine needle biopsy failed to differentiate this lesion from other vascular lesions or metastatic focus prior The was treated splenectomy, which has proved both diagnostic therapeutic cases SANT. Although histology can lead diagnosis tumor, immunohistochemistry is only way...
Infectious diarrhea causes approximately 179 million illnesses annually in the US. Multiplex PCR assays for enteric pathogens detect enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) 12-29% of diarrheal stool samples from all age groups developed nations. The aim this study was to isolate and characterize EPEC identified as positive by BioFire Gastrointestinal Panel (GIP). is second most common GIP-detected pathogen, equally present sole mixed infections peaking during summer months. bacterial load...
Background/Aims To determine if patients with a positive intraoperative cholangiogram (IOC) who undergo subsequent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) have an increased risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) compared to those ERCP directly for suspected common bile duct stones. Methods A retrospective case-control study was performed from 2010 2016. Cases included inpatients IOC at cholecystectomy underwent ERCP. The control group age-sex matched cohorts choledocholithiasis....

The aim of this study was to describe the diagnostic yield endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in patients with isolated elevated levels amylase and/or lipase.A retrospective chart review conducted at a large academic medical center from 2000 2016. Patients were selected based on having amylase, lipase, or both, but without diagnosis pancreatitis known pancreatobiliary disease. excluded if they had abnormal liver function tests imaging pancreas.Of 299 EUS procedures performed, 38 met inclusion...
Introduction: Methods used to diagnose or assess Crohn's disease (CD) involve endoscopy with tissue biopsies. Capsule (CE) is less invasive, does not require anesthesia, and allows direct visualization of small bowel mucosa potential detect diseased found by standard enterography. The aims this study were determine if CE being guide treatment in patients CD suspected CD, whether it changes management. Methods: This was a retrospective chart review CEs performed at single, university-based,...
Introduction: Intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) has been increasingly used during cholecystectomy as both a diagnostic and potentially therapeutic procedure for suspected CBD stones. Failed clearance led to subsequent ERCPs ductal clearance. The overall risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) described 1-6%, but the PEP in patients who undergo ERCP following IOC not described. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted at large tertiary academic medical center from 2010 2016....
