Pancreatic Heterotopia Presenting as a Mimic of Fistulizing Crohn's Disease: Expanding the Differential Diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Pathology, Tower Health Reading Hospital, West Reading, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Pancreatic heterotopia (PH) refers to the presence of pancreatic tissue in locations outside its normal site, usually without any connection to the pancreas, and is typically asymptomatic.
- Symptoms, when they occur, can resemble those of Crohn's disease, including abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea, and often manifest in adulthood.
- A case study revealed a patient initially diagnosed with Crohn's disease, who later had surgery that identified ectopic pancreatic tissue as the underlying cause of her gastrointestinal symptoms, which resolved after resection.
Electric storm triggered by short-coupled premature ventricular complexes in a young patient with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Ventricular arrhythmias are commonly associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with and without midventricular obstruction. Although the overall prognosis is relatively good with an annual mortality rate <1%, the propensity to potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias (ventricular tachycardia) is the most feared complication. Electrical storms are a severe manifestation of ventricular arrhythmias, with poor outcomes.

This article aims to analyze the relationship between non-obstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD) and atrial fibrillation (AF), exploring the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and implications for clinical management. NOCAD and AF are prevalent cardiovascular conditions that often coexist, yet their interrelation is not well understood. NOCAD can lead to ischemic necrosis of cardiomyocytes and their replacement with fibrous tissue, sustaining focal ectopic activity in atrial myocardium.

Background: Idiopathic epicardial premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) originating from the left ventricular summit are difficult to eliminate.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the feasibility and procedural safety of monopolar biphasic focal pulsed field ablation (F-PFA) from within the great cardiac vein (GCV) for treatment of idiopathic epicardial PVCs.
Methods: In 4 pigs, F-PFA (Centauri, CardioFocus) was applied from within the GCV followed by macroscopic gross analysis.

An ectopic kidney is often found inadvertently during CT, ultrasonography, MRI, or urologic physical examination. Ectopic kidneys usually occur in the pelvis. A pelvic ectopic kidney may be misinterpreted for a pelvic tumor by less experienced physicians and surgeons.
