Background: When very low doses of insulin are used insulin dilution, a procedure prone to errors, is recommended.

Case Presentation: We managed a neonate with pancreas agenesis with insulin pump therapy from the first days of life to 16 months of age without insulin dilution. Predictive low glucose suspend mode first and then closed loop control were used. No episodes of severe hypoglycemia were observed.

Conclusions: Though limited to a single patient with pancreas agenesis we believe that the use of pump should be warranted in patients with permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus and intestinal malabsorption, even with undiluted insulin.

Annular pancreas is a rare congenital anatomical anomaly, in which the pancreatic parenchyma surrounds the descending duodenum. Generally, annular pancreas is diagnosed on the basis of symptoms associated with complications of peptic ulcer, pancreatitis, cholelithiasis, and rarely, malignant tumors. Herein, we report an 84-year-old man for whom, during hospitalization for a urinary tract infection, pancreatic cystic lesions and an annular pancreas were noted incidentally on computed tomography.

Rationale: The occurrence of refractory small cell lung cancer (rSCLC) with pancreatic metastasis is a relatively rare clinical condition, which is typically accompanied by a poor prognosis and rapid disease progression.

Patient Concerns: A 65-year-old male farmer from China was diagnosed with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) 8 months ago. Following 6 cycles of EP chemotherapy, the patient's tumor response showed partial relief.

Central Pancreatectomy as a Surgical Alternative for Parenchyma Preservation.

Cureus

Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago, CHL.

Pancreatoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy are standard treatments for various pancreatic pathologies. These procedures involve radical resection and a significant loss of pancreatic tissue, which can lead to exocrine and/or endocrine pancreatic insufficiency. In selected cases of benign tumors or those with low malignant potential, central pancreatectomy can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates.
