Int J Surg Case Rep
September 2023
Introduction And Importance: Amoeboma is a pseudotumoral presentation of amebiasis which is a parasitic infection caused by entamoeba histolytica. Its location in the gallbladder is extremely rare. Indeed, only one other case was found in the literature.

Treatment of the polyps is never definitive, with most patients needing several laparotomies. For this reason, surgeons should be economical in terms of surgical resection to prevent a short bowel syndrome in the long run.

Aim: This article aims to study the epidemiological, anatomical and therapeutic principles of surgical forms of CD in a cohort of Tunisian patients.
Background: Pancreatic leak (PL) remains a major cause of postoperative morbidity in patients undergoing pancreatic resection.
Aim: To identify risk factors related to pancreatic fistula in patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy (DP).
Methods: 35 patients underwent DP during a 10-year period (2000- 2009).
Background: An infected urachal cyst is an uncommon finding in adults.
Aim: To report a case of a sigmoid- urachal- cutaneous fistula.
Case Report: A 51 years old adult male presented with fecaloid leaking from rupture of an infected urachal cyst.
Background: Intra ductal papillary mucinous tumors of pancreas are rare and are characterized by a risk of malignant transformation.
Aim: To clarify their clinical presentation and the performance of different imaging examinations to determine their benign or malignant and achieve their staging.
Cases: We report three cases of degenerate intra ductal papillary mucinous tumors of pancreas.
Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) of the pancreas is a rare tumor with an extremely low incidence rate. While the number of reported patients with ACC is relatively small, a long-term survival rate has been noted in patients with neuroendocrine differentiation. A 39-year-old woman visited our emergency department for upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Cases: We report 3 cases of patients with internal hernias (two men and one woman whose age is 23, 45 and 60 years) hospitalised in emergency for a small bowel obstruction. There were no previous abdominal surgeries or trauma, The three patients underwent CT scan.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on peri-pancreatic sporadic gastrinoma, a condition linked to abnormal gastrin secretion that leads to Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
- A 42-year-old patient with a bleeding duodenal ulcer was diagnosed with a primitive peri-pancreatic gastrinoma and subsequently underwent surgery to remove the tumor.
- The study concludes that sporadic gastrinoma is rare and highlights the importance of advanced imaging techniques for diagnosis, emphasizing that surgery is the only curative treatment available.
Aim: the purpose of this study was to determine the epidemiological and clinical behaviour of the superficial adenocarcinoma of the stomach, to clarify its pathological characteristics, its therapy and prognosis.
Methods: Over a period of 14 years (1990-2004), 16 patients were operated for a superficial gastric adenocarcinoma among 155 gastric cancers treated during the same period in the service of general surgery "A" La Rabta.
Results: The superficial gastric adenocarcinoma represented 10.
Unlabelled: The aim was to evaluate the reliability and safety of laparoscopic ileocecal resection for Crohn's disease and to report our preliminary results.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 20 patients undergoing a laparoscopic ileocecal resection for Crohn's disease was carried out between November 2003 and June 2005. First of all, we defined the inclusions and exclusions criteria which allowed us to select the patients who would be resected laparoscopically.
