Prevalence and prognosis of Computed-Tomography defined sarcopenia in Tunisian cirrhotic patients.

Introduction: Sarcopenia is an underdiagnosed and understudied complication of cirrhosis, especially in patients not undergoing liver transplantation.

Aim: To evaluate the prevalence and prognostic impact of radiological sarcopenia in non-transplanted cirrhotic patients.

Methods: Longitudinal retrospective study including cirrhotic patients explored by an abdominal CT scan, over a period of 6 years, in a single gastroenterology department in Tunisia.

Atypical solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas in a 14-year-old.

Diagnostic approach can be difficult in pediatric pancreatic masses. Our case shows that even though radiologic appearance was not conclusive, surgery remains the main treatment in resectable masses especially in children.
