Misdiagnosis of pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms and the challenge of mimicking lesions: imaging diagnosis and differentiation strategies.
Abdom Radiol (NY)
September 2024
Johns Hopkins Hospital, 1800 Orleans St., Baltimore, MD, 21287, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The increase in pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs), especially intraductal papillary neoplasms (IPMNs), is largely due to more advanced imaging techniques like CT and MRI, leading to frequent incidental findings.
- Surveillance for IPMNs is crucial because of their cancer risk, but their similar appearance to benign lesions can cause diagnostic errors, which may result in unnecessary treatments and strain on healthcare resources.
- The paper focuses on differentiating IPMNs from similar lesions (like serous cystadenomas and others) by examining their imaging features and characteristics, aiming to improve diagnosis accuracy and patient care while reducing healthcare burdens.

Small Bowel Bleeding Caused by a Small Bowel Lipoma in a Patient with Hemodialysis.
Case Rep Gastroenterol
July 2024
Department of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic and Gastrointestinal Surgery, Ichikawa Hospital, International University of Health and Welfare School of Medicine, Chiba, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- - Small bowel bleeding is increasingly diagnosed due to advances in capsule endoscopy, which can identify issues not visible through other methods.
- - An 80-year-old woman on hemodialysis and antiplatelet therapy experienced hematochezia caused by a lipoma, which was detected via capsule endoscopy after other diagnostic methods failed.
- - Surgical resection of the lipoma was successful without complications, suggesting that this approach can be safe for patients with similar health conditions.
