Article Synopsis
- * The rise in obesity has increased cases of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which can lead to cirrhosis and subsequently elevate the risk of developing HCC.
- * Screening for HCC is essential for early detection and improved survival rates, utilizing tests like α-fetoprotein (AFP) and abdominal ultrasounds, while being mindful that HCC can also occur in those without cirrhosis, potentially delaying diagnosis if not monitored properly.
Article Synopsis
- Solitary pancreatic metastasis is uncommon, with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma being the most common concern when a single pancreatic mass is found.
- Most pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas appear in the pancreatic head, but various lesions can resemble them, making a histopathological diagnosis necessary.
- The article details a case where imaging and pathology were crucial in diagnosing a rare solitary metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma to the pancreatic head, aiding in the patient’s management.
Disease spread in the abdomen and pelvis generally occurs in a predictable pattern in relation to anatomic landmarks and fascial planes. Anatomically, the abdominopelvic cavity is subdivided into several smaller spaces or compartments by key ligaments and fascial planes. The abdominal cavity has been traditionally divided into peritoneal, retroperitoneal, and pelvic extraperitoneal spaces.

- - Cholecystectomy, a common surgical procedure, can lead to various post-operative complications, making early diagnosis crucial for effective treatment.
- - The review details the importance of imaging techniques in differentiating typical aftereffects from actual complications and discusses surgical anatomy and potential anatomical variations.
- - It also outlines specific complications that may occur after surgery, including biliary injuries and gallstone issues, emphasizing the need for radiologists to recognize both normal and abnormal findings to aid in patient care.
Pancreatic surgery is considered one of the most technically challenging surgical procedures, despite the evolution of modern techniques. Neoplasms remain the most common indication for pancreatic surgery, although inflammatory conditions may also prompt surgical evaluation. The choice of surgical procedure depends on the type and location of the pathologic finding because different parts of the pancreas have separate vascular supplies that may be shared by adjacent organs.
