Introduction And Importance: Nonspecific presentations during pregnancy can mask early signs and symptoms of upper abdominal tumours, making the preoperative diagnosis of upper abdominal tumours difficult. Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare exocrine tumour of the pancreas, and SPN in combination with preeclampsia during pregnancy is even rarer.

Case Presentation: In this paper, we report a case of SPN combined with preeclampsia during pregnancy and sudden rupture of a giant retroperitoneal SPN during a caesarean section, which resulted in life-threatening intra-abdominal haemorrhage.

Primary Sjögren Syndrome (pSS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects exocrine glands and can lead to various extraglandular manifestations, including secondary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Understanding the clinical and hematological differences in pSS patients with and without secondary ITP is crucial for improved patient management and treatment strategies. This retrospective study, conducted from January 2020 to December 2023, involved a cohort of pSS patients, dividing them into 2 groups: those with secondary ITP and those without.

April 2023

Dr Fahmida Islam, Assistant Professor (Pediatrics), OSD, DGHS, MD(Phase-B) Resident, Deputation on Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology & Nutrition, BSMMU, Dhaka, Bangladesh; E-mail:

Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency occurs as a clinical consequence of chronic pancreatitis leading to fat maldigestion, malabsorption and malnutrition. Fecal elastase-1 is a laboratory-based test used for the diagnosis or exclusion of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. The aim of the study was to observe the value of fecal elastase-1 in children with pancreatitis as an indicator of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency.

Backgrounds/aims: Central pancreatectomy (CP) is associated with a higher rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), and it is less preferred over distal pancreatectomy (DP). We compared the short- and long-term outcomes between CP and DP for low-grade pancreatic neck and body tumors.

Methods: This was a propensity score-matched case-control study of patients who underwent either CP or DP for low-grade pancreatic neck and body tumors from 2003 to 2020 in a tertiary care unit in southern India.

Background: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a long-lasting disease frequently associated with complications for which there is no comprehensive pathophysiological classification.

Aim: The aims of this study were to: Propose a pathophysiological classification of the complications of CP; evaluate their prevalence in a surgical cohort prior to, and following surgical management; and assess the impact of the surgical treatment on the occurrence of new complications of CP during follow-up. We hypothesized that optimal surgical treatment can resolve existing complications and reduce the risk of new complications, with the exclusion of pancreatic insufficiency.
