Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of pancreas: Clinicopathological features and long-term survival after surgical resection.

Introduction: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas can progress from low-grade dysplasia to high-grade dysplasia and invasive carcinoma.

Methods: In this single-center retrospective series, we analyze the clinicopathological features and long-term follow up of patients who underwent pancreatic resection for IPMN, from January 2009 to December 2019.

Distal pancreatectomy: experience in a National Hospital.

Materials And Methods: Clinical, perioperative, and histopathologic data of patients who underwent ODP and LDP between 2009 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: 70 patients were included.

Laparoscopic splenectomy and proximal splenorenal shunt for portal hypertension due to portal vein thrombosis in a patient with protein S deficiency.

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a rare condition in the general population that develops serious complications if left untreated for long time. We present a case of a 29-year-old woman who developed PVT due to protein S deficiency versus neonatal funiculitis. Over time, the patient developed upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to esophageal varices and hypersplenism with splenic sequestration that caused minor bleeding episodes.
