Rational: Hematoma arising within an intrapancreatic accessory spleen (IPAS) is an extremely rare pathological entity.
Patient Concern: We present the case of a 39-year-old man with acute abdominal pain.
Diagnoses: The patient was initially diagnosed as pancreatic cystic neoplasm according to CT and MRI imaging.
Interventions: Distal pancreatectomy was conducted because of the possibility of malignancy.
Outcomes: Surgical resection showed that the lesion was a hematoma in an IPAS.
Lessons: Our case indicated that the differential diagnosis of hematoma in IPAS should be born in mind for cases with cystic neoplasm in tail of pancreas and an epidermoid cyst arising within an intrapancreatic accessory spleen (ECIAS).

Diuretics-Induced Acute Pancreatitis: Case Series with a Review of the Literature.

Background: Although diuretic-induced Acute Pancreatitis (AP) cases are typically mild to moderate, severe and potentially fatal occurrences can arise. Case Series and Literature Review: We have, herein, presented a series of diuretic-induced AP cases from March 2018 to February 2024 of a 54-year-old woman treated with chlorthalidone, a 45-year-old male treated with hydrochlorothiazide, and a 48-year-old male treated with frusemide. The literature search has identified 26 cases published to date, 10 from frusemide and 16 from thiazide diuretics.

Arterial variations in the liver's blood supply play a pivotal role in the success of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), impacting both its technical execution and oncological outcomes. Among these variations, a common hepatic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occurs in about 3% of cases. An exceptionally rare variation is the intrapancreatic common hepatic artery (IPCHA).

Objective: The purpose of the study was to analyze the anatomy and variations in the origin of the dorsal pancreatic artery, greater pancreatic artery and to study the various types of arterial arcades supplying the pancreas on multidetector CT (MDCT).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 747 MDCT scans was performed in patients who underwent triple phase or dual phase CT abdomen between December 2020 and October 2022. Variations in origin of Dorsal pancreatic artery (DPA), greater pancreatic artery (GPA), uncinate process branch were studied.
Rare Solid Pancreatic Lesions on Cross-Sectional Imaging.

Several solid lesions can be found within the pancreas mainly arising from the exocrine and endocrine pancreatic tissue. Among all pancreatic malignancies, the most common subtype is pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), to a point that pancreatic cancer and PDAC are used interchangeably. But, in addition to PDAC, and to the other most common and well-known solid lesions, either related to benign conditions, such as pancreatitis, or not so benign, such as pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs), there are solid pancreatic lesions considered rare due to their low incidence.

Pancreatic cancer is typically detected at an advanced stage, and is refractory to most forms of treatment, contributing to poor survival outcomes. The incidence of pancreatic cancer is gradually increasing, linked to an aging population and increasing rates of obesity and pancreatitis, which are risk factors for this cancer. Sources of risk include adipokine signaling from fat cells throughout the body, elevated levels of intrapancreatic intrapancreatic adipocytes (IPAs), inflammatory signals arising from pancreas-infiltrating immune cells and a fibrotic environment induced by recurring cycles of pancreatic obstruction and acinar cell lysis.
