Solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasm of pancreas in pregnancy: A case report and review of literature.

The solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasm (SPEN) of the pancreas is an uncommon tumor that accounts for approximately 1%-2% of exocrine pancreatic neoplasms. It predominantly affects female in their second and third decades of life. In this case report, we present a clinical scenario of a 21-year-old pregnant woman who incidentally discovered a solid cystic lesion in her pancreas, exhibiting features suggestive of SPEN.

Management of Choledochal Cysts at a Tertiary Care Centre: A Nine-Year Experience from India.

Background: Although choledochal cyst disease is seen predominantly in childhood, it is becomingly increasingly diagnosed in adult patients.

Methods: Data of 36 patients with choledochal cysts managed in our institute between January 2010 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: Median age at presentation was 37 years (range: 13-72 years).

Krukenberg tumours from gastrointestinal cancers-analysis from a tertiary care centre in India.

Background: Krukenberg tumour (KT) is clinically defined as any ovarian metastatic carcinoma derived from a primary malignancy (usually from the gastrointestinal tract). Our aim was to analyse the incidence, demographic profile, clinical features, management and survival of patients with KTs from gastrointestinal tract malignancies at our centre.

Methods: This was a retrospective analysis data at our centre between Jan 2015 and Dec 2017.

Primary Hodgkin's lymphoma of liver in HIV-a case report and review of literature.

Primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) is a lymphoma presenting with predominant liver involvement at presentation in the early stage of lymphoma. It accounts to less than 0.4% of all extranodal lymphomas and usually occurs in immunocompromised states.

Mediastinal Pseudocyst: Varied Presentations and Management-Experience from a Tertiary Referral Care Centre in India.

Pseudocysts are a recognised complication following acute or chronic pancreatitis. Usually located in peripancreatic areas, they have also been reported to occur in atypical regions like liver, pelvis, spleen, and mediastinum. Mediastinal pseudocysts are a rare entity and present with myriad of symptoms due to their unique location.

Anomalous middle hepatic artery in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Wolf in sheep's clothing.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a simple but dangerous operation. The complex anatomy and frequent anomalies of the hepatic arterial and biliary system are often a shocking surprise to the laparoscopic surgeon. When these vital structures cannot be identified correctly, potentially crippling serious vascular and biliary injury can occur.

Management of esophageal perforation: experience from a tertiary center in India.

Background/aim: The management of esophageal perforations remains controversial in large part due to variability in etiology, time of presentation, location, and underlying esophageal disease. We reviewed our experience in treating patients with esophageal perforations and evaluated the etiology, management and outcome of intervention in a tertiary center.

Methods: Between 1999 and 2007, 48 patients with esophageal perforation were treated in a tertiary referral center in southern India.

Factors affecting outcome after Frey procedure for chronic pancreatitis.

Background: Debilitating abdominal pain remains the most common presentation of chronic pancreatitis and the treatment remains challenging.

Objective: This prospective study analyzed the outcome of Frey's procedure in patients with inflammatory head mass.

Methods: For the period between 2002 and 2007, 77 patients with chronic pancreatitis underwent Frey procedure for intractable abdominal pain.

Management of post dilatation oesophageal perforation: an experience from a tertiary centre.

Background: Treatment of oesophageal perforation remains controversial. This study shows that native oesophagus should be preserved. Early recognition improves survival.
