Accuracy and other quality indicators of solid pancreatic mass endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration and biopsy in two academic endoscopy centers.

Background And Aims: Endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration/biopsy (EUS-FNA/FNB) is highly accurate, but discrepancies between cytological and surgical diagnoses are still observed. We aimed to determine its accuracy and monitor quality indicators in our facilities.

Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all cases of pancreatic solid lesions evaluated by EUS-FNA/FNB, between July 2015 and June 2018, in two centers.

First case of and mixed bacteraemia successfully identified by MALDI TOF-MS.

and are anaerobic Gram-negative and Gram-positive rods, respectively, that are occasionally members of the human oral flora. Bacteraemia has rarely been reported. We present the first case of mixed - bacteraemia in an individual with diabetes and human immunodeficiency virus infection.

A rare presentation of IgG4 related disease as a gastric antral lesion: Case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Immunoglobulin G4 related disease is a recently recognized systemic fibro-inflammatory disorder affecting virtually every organ in the body, characterized by lympho-plasmacytic dense infiltrates rich in IgG4 positive plasmacytes along with storiform fibrosis, inconstantly associated with elevated serum IgG4 levels. Few cases of Immunoglobulin G4 related disease occurring solely in the stomach have been published.

Presentation Of Case: We herein present a rare case of a 57 year old male patient presenting with an incidentally discovered asymptomatic pre-pyloric submucosal gastric lesion confused with a gastro-intestinal stromal tumor with failed endoscopic biopsy attempts due to tumor mobility.
