Ampullary composite gangliocytoma/neuroma and neuroendocrine tumor (CoGNET), previously called ampullary gangliocytic paragangliomas, is a rare entity, with only few reported cases in the literature. This is a multicentric retrospective cohort study of patients treated with endoscopy or surgery for ampullary CoGNET. A literature review of ampullary CoGNET was also performed.

We present the largest retrospective comparative study analysing EP and TSA.
Design: Of all patients in the database, lesions with prior interventions, benign histology advanced malignancy (T2 and more), patients with hereditary syndromes and those undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy were excluded.
Background And Objectives: Detective flow imaging EUS (DFI-EUS) is a new technology that detects fine vessels and low-flow velocity without contrast agents, used in real time during EUS, with a better resolution compared to usual technologies such as color Doppler and eFLOW. The aim of this study was to compare DFI-EUS with contrast-enhanced EUS (CE-EUS) for the evaluation of vascularization in solid pancreatic lesions.
Methods: We included patients who had a pancreatic mass visualized by EUS, with recorded images of their assessment in DFI-EUS and CE-EUS techniques and a histological diagnosis confirmed malignant tumors or a minimum of 1-year follow-up for benign lesions.
Background: Post-endoscopic duodenal perforation is a severe adverse event with high morbidity and mortality rates. Managing this rare event is challenging owing to limited clear guidelines. This retrospective study aimed to examine the relationship between time-to-treatment and morbidity among patients with post-endoscopic duodenal perforations.

- EUS-guided hepaticojejunostomy (EUS-HJS) is a biliary drainage technique for patients with altered anatomy, particularly those who have had total gastrectomy, but data on its effectiveness were previously lacking.
- A retrospective study involving 21 patients found that EUS-HJS achieved 100% technical success and 80% clinical success, helping to alleviate symptoms like jaundice and cholangitis.
- Although the procedure had a 33% adverse event rate, many patients (39%) could resume cancer treatment, and the median survival time after the procedure was 6 months.
