Pancreatic plasmacytoma is a rare entity of extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMP). It is important to consider pancreatic plasmacytoma in patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM) presenting with obstructive jaundice. We present a case of pancreatic plasmacytoma in a patient with previously diagnosed multiple myeloma and extramedullary plasmacytoma in remission. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) were of great diagnostic and therapeutic value for acute management.

Article Synopsis
- * EPs can appear in various body parts, including the lungs, breasts, and abdominal organs, making them tough to diagnose due to their similar imaging characteristics to other conditions.
- * The review highlights the importance of imaging for detecting EPs, but emphasizes that a histological confirmation is essential for an accurate diagnosis, especially for patients with a history of multiple myeloma, as timely diagnosis can greatly improve
The Potential of Salivary Biomarkers in Early Detection of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: A Systematic Review.

Internal Medicine, King Edward Medical University, Lahore, PAK.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a formidable global health concern with a dire prognosis, highlighting the critical need for early detection strategies. This systematic review delves into the potential of salivary biomarkers as a non-invasive means for identifying PDAC at its incipient stages. Saliva's proximity to the circulatory system enables the detection of tumor-derived biomolecules, making it an ideal candidate for mass screening.

Article Synopsis
- * These tumors can be classified as extramedullary (from soft tissue) or osseous (from bone marrow), and they may rarely occur in the pancreas, mimicking other tumor types.
- * The article discusses a case of a 62-year-old male with a solitary plasmacytoma in the pancreas, emphasizing the importance of using imaging techniques like CT and PET-CT scans for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic middle pancreatectomy in the treatment of benign and junctional tumors of the pancreas.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of basic data, tumor diameter, statistical analysis, and evaluation of efficacy-related indicators such as operative time, intraoperative bleeding, pathological findings, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative pancreatic fistula incidence, and pancreatic endocrine function was carried out on 17 patients diagnosed with benign or low-grade malignant tumors of the pancreas and laparoscopic middle pancreatic resection from January 2018 to January 2023 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan Normal University.
Results: A total of 17 patients were screened.
