Endosc Ultrasound
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- The review discusses primary benign mesenchymal tumors of the pancreas, which are very rare and often diagnosed only after surgery.
- These tumors are usually identified through postoperative histology, leading to significant pancreatic surgery even for benign cases.
- The summary includes limited findings from abdominal imaging and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), with some case reports demonstrating modern ultrasound techniques used for diagnosis.
Endosc Ultrasound
July 2024
Article Synopsis
- The review discusses mesenchymal pancreatic tumors that have intermediate biological behavior and how they appear in imaging studies.
- These tumors are rare, much like their benign and malignant counterparts, and are typically diagnosed after surgery through histology.
- The text also briefly summarizes the limited information available on ultrasound and endoscopic ultrasound findings, including the use of contrast-enhanced techniques for these pancreatic lesions.
Endosc Ultrasound
April 2024
Article Synopsis
- - This review details rare malignant pancreatic lesions, particularly focusing on the imaging characteristics of uncommon epithelial tumors like solid pseudopapillary neoplasm and acinar cell carcinoma.
- - It highlights how these tumors can be visualized using ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and contrast-enhanced techniques.
- - The overview emphasizes that pancreatic tumors are diverse, and not all are the common types like ductal adenocarcinoma or neuroendocrine tumors.
Endosc Ultrasound
April 2024
Article Synopsis
- This review categorizes and discusses rare malignant mesenchymal tumors of the pancreas, emphasizing their imaging characteristics.
- It highlights that these tumors may present differently than the more common pancreatic cancers, like ductal adenocarcinoma or neuroendocrine tumors.
- The overview consolidates existing data to provide a clearer understanding of these less common pancreatic tumors.
Endosc Ultrasound
December 2023
Article Synopsis
- Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a safe and precise endoscopic method for diagnosing lymph node swelling and lung masses, improving lung cancer staging while minimizing the need for invasive surgeries.
- Despite its advantages, several questions remain regarding informed consent differences, the potential for EBUS to replace standard bronchoscopy, and the best practices for performing the procedure.
- The article discusses these ongoing challenges and seeks to clarify the best approaches for implementing EBUS in clinical settings.
