A 50-year-old woman with Felty's syndrome, who presented with "menopausal" symptoms, was found to have a large pelvic mass on physical exam. Computed tomography of the pelvis led to an incorrect diagnosis of malignancy, while radionuclide imaging using Tc-99m sulfur colloid confirmed the diagnosis of ectopic splenomegaly.

Ectopic varices account for 5% of variceal bleedings and occur outside the gastro-esophageal region. This review evaluates the efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for ectopic variceal management. A comprehensive search through PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase was conducted until January 16, 2023, using relevant keywords.

Article Synopsis
- Wandering spleen is when the spleen moves from its normal spot in the body, usually going lower into the abdomen or pelvis, and it can be hard to diagnose without proper imaging like CT scans.
- A 22-year-old woman went to the emergency room with severe stomach pain, and while an ultrasound suggested an ovarian cyst, further tests showed she had a wandering spleen that had twisted and was not getting enough blood.
- After surgery to remove the spleen, she recovered well and was discharged, highlighting how important quick diagnosis and treatment are for this condition.

Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, 226014, India.
Background: This exclusively surgical series on pediatric extrahepatic portal venous obstruction (EHPVO) defines surgical indications beyond endoscopic eradication of esophageal varices (EEEV), the selection of an appropriate surgical procedure, and the long-term post-surgical outcome.
Methods: EHPVO management protocol at the reporting institute has been endotherapy until esophageal variceal eradication and surgery for select adverse sequelae manifesting after EEEV.
Results: One hundred and thirty-nine EHPVO cases underwent surgery for the following indications in combination: i) massive splenomegaly with severe hypersplenism ( = 132, 95%); ii) growth retardation (GR, = 95, 68%); iii) isolated gastric (IGV) and ectopic varices ( = 49, 35%); iv) Portal cavernoma cholangiopathy (PCC) ( = 07, 5%).
Porto-sinusoidal vascular disease (PSVD) is an uncommon cause of portal hypertension (PHT) characterized by typical manifestations of PHT in the absence of an identifiable cause such as cirrhosis or splenoportal thrombosis. There are different etiological factors, including oxaliplatin. We present the case of a 67-year-old male with a history of locally advanced rectal cancer in 2007 treated with chemotherapy (capecitabine, folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin), radiotherapy and surgery with a definitive colostomy.
