A rare clinical case of extra-gastrointestinal stromal pancreatic tumor.

Extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors arising from the pancreas are extremely rare. To date, just over 30 cases have been described in the world literature. A clinical observation of a 67-year-old patient with dull epigastric pain and a large cystic solid neoplasm instrumentally identified as an extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the head of the pancreas is presented.

Giant splenic artery aneurysm: case report.

True splenic artery aneurysms are exceedingly rare and the medical literature contains only a limited number of reports on this pathology. Presently, there remains a lack of consensus regarding the optimal management and treatment approaches for patients in this category. Over the course of the last century, significant changes have occurred in the realm of surgical options, transitioning from open and endovascular procedures to the more advanced laparoscopic and robotic interventions.

Cytochrome P450 3A4 activity and genetic variants as predictors of liver failure in patients with obstructive jaundice.

Liver failure in patients with obstructive jaundice is a significant contributor to mortality within this patient cohort. The exact mechanism and triggers of this occurrence are yet to be fully understood. With this in mind, our study aimed to assess the correlation between the urinary 6 β-OHC/C ratio and various biochemical parameters of liver function.

[Stomach and spleen preserving total pancreatectomy].

Introduction: Pancreatic surgery expands the indications and the use of total pancreatectomy. Considering a rather high rate of postoperative complications, the search for the ways to improve its outcomes is extremely relevant. The purpose of this study is justification and implementation of organ-preserving variants of total pancreatectomy.
