Chronic follicular pancreatitis: a space occupying lesion with spontaneous resolution.

Follicular pancreatitis (FP) is an extremely odd entity characterized by the presence of a pseudotumor that histologically presents lymphoid aggregates and germinal centers. The authors present the case of a 67-year-old woman with epigastric pain and jaundice. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) was performed, revealing a 14x15 mm hypoechoic area with irregular edges in the head of the pancreas.

Immune-mediated colitis secondary to treatment with nivolumab-ipilimumab in a patient with stage IV kidney cancer: what do we do when corticosteroids fail?

52-year-old male. The patient had a stage IV renal carcinoma with bone metastases. He started first-line treatment with nivolumab (3 mg/kg) associated with ipilimumab (1 mg/kg).

A rare cause of intra-abdominal cysts: pancreatic cystic lymphangiomas.

Echenique et al. described a lymphangioma as a rare cystic neoplasm of the pancreas. We present a similar intra-abdominal lesion diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology.

SEVERE GASTROINTESTINAL TOXICITY SECONDARY TO FLUOROPYRIMIDINES: ACUTE ESOPHAGEAL NECROSIS ASSOCIATED EXTENSIVE DUODENAL MUCOSITIS.

A 68-year-old male with stage IV sigmoid adenocarcinoma (liver metastases). KRAS and BRAF wild type. No other medical-surgical history of interest.

Endoscopic ultrasound cytologic brushing vs endoscopic ultrasound - fine needle aspiration for cytological diagnosis of cystic pancreatic lesions. A multicenter, randomized open-label trial.

Introduction: the incidence of cystic pancreatic lesions (CPL) in the asymptomatic population is increasing. Achieving a preoperative diagnosis of CPL still remains a challenge.

Objectives: to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the cytological diagnosis of CPL from samples obtained by cytology brush versus standard endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA).

Intermediate-risk patients with three to four small adenomas should be considered low risk for colorectal cancer screening.

Background And Aim: Intermediate-risk patients following a colorectal cancer screening program may have differential risk of advanced lesions depending on the findings of an index colonoscopy. The aim of the present study was to comparatively assess advanced colorectal neoplasia risk at the first follow-up colonoscopy among the different intermediate-risk subgroups with a focus on patients with three to four adenomas.

Methods: All patients recruited for a baseline screening colonoscopy between 2006 and 2011 were included.

Emergency double-balloon enteroscopy combined with real-time viewing of capsule endoscopy: a feasible combined approach in acute overt-obscure gastrointestinal bleeding?

Background And Aim: There are few data concerning emergency double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) and its usefulness in the management of severe acute obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate emergency DBE and capsule endoscopy (CE) in patients with overt OGIB, analyzing the feasibility of this combined approach.

Methods: Emergency DBE in patients with overt OGIB was defined as performance within 24 h of symptom onset.
