The keywords used were "pancreas and GIST", "pancreas and extra GIST", "pancreas and gastrointestinal stromal tumor", and "pancreas and ex-tragastrointestinal stromal tumor". literature reviews and/or duplicate studies were excluded. The search included articles published in the English language be-tween January 1, 2000 and May 15, 2014.RESULTS: From our literature survey, 30 manuscripts on pancreatic EGISTs were considered, of which 27met the search criteria and three were excluded. The studies involved 30 patients(15 men, 15 women) with a mean age of 55.3 ± 14.3 years(range 30-84 years). The mean age of the male patients was 50.8 ± 13.7 years(range 30-84 years); that of the female patients was 59.9 ± 13.3 years(range 38-81 years). Tumor dimensions were obtained for 28 cases(mean 114.4 ± 78.6 mm; range 20-350 mm). Tumors were diagnosed incidentally in 23.3% of patients; abdominal discomfort and weight loss were the major complaints in symp-tomatic patients. Risk of aggressive behavior according to Fletcher criteria was determined in 25 of 30 patients(68%: high risk, 28%: intermediate risk, 4%: low risk). Histopathological examination revealed the presence of spindle cells in 96.1% of cases; CD117 and CD34 were present immunohistochemically in 96.6% and 84% of patients, respectively. The most common surgical pro-cedures were distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy(n = 9) and pancreaticoduodenectomy(n = 7). The to-tal follow-up period for the 28 patients ranged from 3-66 mo, during which locoregional or distant metastases were diagnosed in six patients and two patients died.CONCLUSION: Studies on EGISTs have only been published in the last decade. The lack of studies with large patient cohorts and long-term follow-up limits evidence-based com展开更多

METHODS: We studied retrospectively 36 cases that underwent MSP, 44 patients who underwent PD, and 26 who underwent EDP with benign or low-grade malignant lesions in the mid-portion of the pancreas, between April 2003 and December 2009 in Ruijin Hospital. The perioperative outcomes and long-term outcomes of MSP were compared with those of EDP and PD. Periop-erative outcomes included operative time, intraoperative hemorrhage, transfusion, pancreatic fistula, intraabdominal abscess/infection, postoperative bleeding, reoperation, mortality, and postoperative hospital time. Long-term outcomes, including tumor recurrence, newonset diabetes mellitus (DM), and pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, were evaluated. RESULTS: Intraoperative hemorrhage was 316.1 ± 309.6, 852.2 ± 877.8 and 526.9 ± 414.5 mL for the MSP, PD and EDP groups, respectively (P < 0.05). The mean postoperative daily fasting blood glucose level was significantly lower in the MSP group than in the EDP group (6.3 ± 1.5 mmol/L vs 7.3 ± 1.5 mmol/L, P < 0.05). The rate of pancreatic fistula was higher in the MSP group than in the PD group (42% vs 20.5%, P = 0.039), all of the fistulas after MSP corresponded to grade A (9/15) or B (6/15) and were sealed following conservative treatment. There was no significant difference in the mean postoperative hospital stay between the MSP group and the other two groups. After a mean follow-up of 44 mo, no tumor recurrences were found, only one patient (2.8%) in the MSP group vs five (21.7%) in the EDP group developed new-onset insulin-dependent DM postoperatively (P = 0.029). Moreover, significantly fewer patients in the MSP group than in the PD (0% vs 33.3%, P < 0.001) and EDP (0% vs 21.7%, P = 0.007) required enzyme substitution. CONCLUSION: MSP is a safe and organ-preserving option for benign or low-grade malignant lesions in the neck and proximal bod展开更多

The commonest causes reported in the literature are iatrogenic （secondary to hepatobUiary surgery）, trauma or complications due to choledocho- lithiasis. A few cases have been reported as complica- tions of cholangiocarcinoma or acute cholecystitis. We report the case of a 64-year-old man initially diagnosed with a non-obstructive malignancy of the pancreas, who developed a spontaneous intrahepatic biloma 8 mo later. This was identified following a 1-wk history of fever, rigors and icterus. The biloma was identified on computed tomography and subsequently drained under ultrasound guidance. Forty-eight hours later, a stent was inserted endoscopically into his common bile duct and he made an uneventful in-hospital recovery. We believe this is the first documented case of spontaneous intrahepatic biloma to occur secondary to pancreatic malignancy.展开更多
