Background: Gallbladder cysts are rare diseases with very few reported cases, and no clinical or histological definition has been established. Furthermore, cases of giant cysts outside the gallbladder wall are extremely rare. We report a rare case of giant gallbladder cyst with acute cholecystitis.

Herein, we report a patient with an ectopic pancreatic adenocarcinoma in Meckel's diverticulum who was successfully treated with surgery and chemotherapy.
Case Presentation: A woman in her sixties presented to another hospital with abdominal pain.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on identifying risk factors for early recurrence (ER) of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in patients who underwent surgery with curative intent.
- Researchers analyzed data from 74 PDAC patients, looking at various factors such as age, body mass index, and preoperative tumor markers, including the serum DUPAN-2 level.
- The results indicated that a higher preoperative DUPAN-2 level and the absence of adjuvant chemotherapy were independent risk factors for ER, suggesting that patients with elevated DUPAN-2 levels may benefit from neoadjuvant therapies to help reduce the risk of recurrence.
Background: Early or emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) was recommended in the 2018 Tokyo Guidelines for patients with mild to moderate acute cholecystitis (AC). Although surgical difficulty is frequently encountered during these surgeries, risk factors for predicting surgical difficulties have not been fully investigated, especially based on computed tomography (CT) findings.
Materials And Methods: We investigated 72 patients who underwent emergency LC with mild (n=45) to moderate (n=27) AC.
Background: Intrahepatic lymphatic invasion is an adverse prognostic factor after hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CLMs). However, most patients in previous reports had liver resection before the era of FOLFOX/FIRI-based chemotherapy.
Methods: Forty-six patients who underwent hepatectomy for CLMs from 2004 to 2020 were evaluated.
