Duodenal perforations due to biliary stenting migration, although rare, can occur. We report a unique case of duodenal perforation due to a large in length plastic stent with no (or marginal) migration, which ended up in the root of the mesentery, explaining the normal laboratory values and minimal imaging findings observed. Any clinical symptom during the postprocedural period should raise the suspicion of a major complication and prompt quick management decisions.

Successful reversal of intestinal obstruction by PRRT: two case reports and literature review of PRRT in Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors with mesenteric fibrosis.
Acta Gastroenterol Belg

Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) typically follow an indolent disease course and are often accompanied by mesenteric lymph node metastases upon diagnosis. These tumors can incite a fibroblastic reaction within the mesenteric root. Here, we present two cases of patients with symptomatic small bowel obstruction due to such mesenteric involvement.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of loop-end ileostomy (EI), introduced in 2021, in reducing stoma outlet obstruction (SOO) in patients undergoing restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), compared to traditional loop ileostomy (LI).
- - Researchers analyzed 106 patients with diverting ileostomy, finding that EI significantly lowered the incidence of SOO (odds ratio 0.18) despite similar patient characteristics and surgery factors between the two groups.
- - The conclusion suggests that EI is a promising approach to minimize SOO complications following RPC and IPAA, particularly in more complex anastomosis cases.
Atraumatic Hepatic Laceration with Hemoperitoneum.

A rare case of atraumatic liver laceration associated with hemoperitoneum is presented in a patient with amyloidosis who came to the hospital for abdominal pain. The imaging findings reveal significant hepatomegaly with finely heterogeneous hepatic density and subcapsular hypo-dense streaks in segments VI and VII, likely representing lesions. Post-contrast enhancement shows a punctiform contrast medium extravasation within the subhepatic fluid collection, visible from the arterial phase and intensifying in subsequent study phases.

This study elaborates the essence of distant lymph node metastasis and skip metastasis of esophageal cancer according to the membrane anatomy theory. Lymph distant metastasis of esophageal cancer is essentially the phenomenon of cancer cells shedding from the primary focus of esophageal cancer and transferring along the direction of lymphatic drainage to the root of the esophageal mesentery. Because the metastasis is relatively distant, it is called distant metastasis.

Intra-abdominal desmoid tumors are a rare and complex clinical problem. These tumors are locally invasive, and surgical ablation represents the mainstay of treatment. When localized at the root of the mesentery, their resection may require extensive excision of the intestine resulting in intestinal failure and life-long total parenteral nutrition.
