Management of incidental pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor: a case report with literature review.

Background: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are rare and accounting for less than 5% of all pancreatic neoplasms. Their management depends on dimension of the lesion, main pancreatic duct (MPD) caliber, tumor malignancy features and evolutive potential.

Case Report: Incidental finding of a lesion 1.

A rare case of primary gastric Burkitt's lymphoma associated with malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Background: Primary gastric Burkitt lymphoma (PG BL) and malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) are rare and aggressive tumors with poor prognosis. HIV and EBV infection have a link in the aetiology of PG BL, while MPM is usually associated with asbestos exposure. Endoluminal bleeding from massive solid tumor, and dyspnea usually due to pleural effusion, are the typical clinical manifestations respectively of PG BL and MPM.

Post-traumatic multifocal abdominal splenosis. The role of the clinical history. Case report and review of literature.

Background: Splenosis is a benign clinical condition caused by the heterotopic autotransplantation of spleen's tissue tipically occurring after spleen rupture. Splenosis may be asymptomatic and found accidentally. When signs and symptoms occur they are due to mass effect or bleeding of the splenic nodules.

Subhepatic mass occurrence after using oxidized and regenerated cellulose polymer in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a case series.

Background: Oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) is a bioabsorbable surgical hemostatic. We present the first prospective case series of circumscribed mass occurrence after using ORC in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Bilateral hydrocele. Uncommon clinical presentation of primary testicular lymphoma in the elderly.

Primary testicular lymphoma (PLT) represents 5% of testis tumors, the incidence increases in patients older than 60 years of age. Bilateral hydrocele is an unusual clinical presentation. Relapse in the central nervous system and in the contralateral testis is often observed.

Challenging differential diagnosis between lipoma and well-differentiated liposarcoma in the retroperitoneum. A case report.

Liposarcomas are the most common type of sarcomas arising in the retroperitoneum. Retroperitoneal lipomas are extremely rare. They should be distinguished from well-differentiated liposarcomas in order to provide the appropriate treatment.

Prevalence of adenoma of gallbladder, ultrasonographic and histological assessment in a retrospective series of 450 cholecystectomy.

Background: Adenomyomas of the gallbladder are difficult to examine during standard ultrasound examination of the abdomen. They sometimes undergo malignant transformation and their optimal management still remains a problem. The authors have aimed to investigate the ultrasonographic and histopathological prevalence of gallbladder adenomyomas focusing on the diagnostic performance of ultrasound examination.
