Obstructive jaundice solely due to pancreatic pseudocyst is rare in pediatric patients. Successful management of a case by internal drainage is being described here. The role of intra-operative cholangiogram is being highlighted for deciding whether a simple drainage procedure would be required instead of a hepatico-jejunostomy.

Results of Endoscopic Treatment of Recurrent Malignant Biliary Obstruction in Patients with Self-Expanding Metal Stents.
Dig Dis Sci
January 2025
Cancer Institute of the University of São Paulo, Av. Dr. Arnaldo, 251 - Cerqueira César, São Paulo, SP, 01246-000, Brazil.
Background And Aim: Endoscopic biliary drainage with placement of a self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) is the preferred palliative treatment of malignant biliary obstruction. Recent advances in the treatment have prolonged survival, thus, increasing the chance of recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) after SEMS placement. The aim of this study was to compare different endoscopic approaches in patients with a SEMS and RBO, regarding clinical success and time to RBO.

Gallstone disease during pregnancy, or cholelithiasis, presents significant clinical challenges due to hormonal, anatomical, and metabolic changes. Progesterone therapy, commonly used in pregnancy for uterine bleeding, can exacerbate gallstone risk by reducing gallbladder motility and promoting cholesterol gallstone formation. This case report describes a 29-year-old pregnant woman with no prior gallbladder disease who developed multiple cholesterol gallstones during the third trimester while undergoing progesterone therapy for bleeding associated with a bicornuate uterus.

Clinical evaluation of endoscopic biliary stenting in treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice.
World J Gastrointest Surg
January 2025
Department of General Surgery, Shenzhen University General Hospital, Shenzhen 518000, Guangdong Province, China.
Background: Malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ) is characterized by the presence of malignant tumors infiltrating or compressing the bile duct, causing poor bile drainage, generalized yellowing, pain, itching, and malaise. MOJ is burdensome for both the society and the families of affected patients and should be taken seriously.
Aim: To evaluate the clinical effect of stent placement during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for relieving MOJ and the efficacy of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage in terms of liver function improvement, complication rates, and long-term patient outcomes.
Primary duodenal T/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma complicated with obstructive jaundice: A case report and review of literature.
World J Gastrointest Surg
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, The General Hospital of Western Theater Command, Chengdu 610083, Sichuan Province, China.
Background: T/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma (T/HRBCL) is a highly aggressive subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma characterized histologically by the presence of a few neoplastic large B cells amidst an abundant background of reactive T lymphocytes and/or histiocytes. T/HRBCL commonly affects the lymph nodes, followed by extranodal sites, such as the spleen, liver, and bone marrow, with rare occurrences in the gastrointestinal tract. Primary gastrointestinal T/HRBCL lacks specific clinical and endoscopic manifestations, and it is difficult to differentiate from inflammatory diseases, nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, and other diseases on a histological basis, thereby hindering early diagnosis.
