A case of mantle cell lymphoma in the colonPrice: €10,00 |
|
| A 65-year-old man was diagnosed with mantle cell
lymphoma, stage IVB, in 2003. He was treated with
combination
chemotherapy followed by upfront consolidative
high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic
stem cell transplantation. A complete remission
was achieved in 2004. Ten years later the disease relapsed
with peripheral blood and bone marrow involvement.
A thoracic and abdominal CT (computed tomography)
scan showed multiple enlarged axillary, mesenterial
and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. [Product Details...] |

An unusual cause of giant gastric ulcerPrice: €10,00 |
|
| Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) may involve different
gastrointestinal
sites, and small bowel is the commonest
organ (1). Involvement of the stomach is observed in less
than 10% of the patients during the course of the
disease
(1-3). Primay gastric BL is extremely rare (1).
Here we report a case with involvement of stomach by
giant BL ulcer presented with gastrointestinal bleeding
initially. [Product Details...] |

Early detection of Klatskin tumor through the hepaticoduodenostomyPrice: €10,00 |
|
| Hepaticoduodenostomy (HD) is a procedure used for
biliary reconstriction in injuries bilary tree during cholecystectomy
(1). To our knowledge, no cases of Klatskin
tumor early diagnosed through HD are reported in the
medical literature. Herein, we firstly report a case of
Klatskin tumor early diagnosed through HD.
A 70-year-old female was admitted to our hospital
with dyspeptic complaints. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy
revealed a surgical anastomosis (hepaticoduodenostomy)
in duodenal bulb (Fig. 1) and a papillary polypoid
lesion 5 mm in diameter was detected in the biliary
tract near the anastomosis (Fig. 2). Histopathological
examination of endoscopic biopsy sample from the lesion
revealed cholangiocarcinoma (Klatskin tumor). [Product Details...] |

Giant gastric tubulovillous adenoma : A rare upper gastrointestinal bleedingPrice: €10,00 |
|
| Polyps are defined as proliferative lesions of the gastrointestinal
mucosa growing into the lumen (1). Gastric
polyps are typically asymptomatic. These lesions can be
seen during approximately 2-6% of endoscopic procedures
(2). Rarely adenomas lead to bleeding, and become
symptomatic with anemia, abdominal pain and gastric
outlet obstruction. Hyperplastic polyps, the most commonly
identified histological type, is considered nonneoplastic.
The most common types of hyperplastic polyps
in the stomach are fundic gland and adenomatous
polyps (3). Adenomatous polyps of the stomach constitute
8% to 10 of all polyps and have three different subtypes
: tubular, villous and tubulovillous polyps. Villous
and tubulovillous adenomas have a high risk of developing
malignancy. Also, the risk of malignancy increases
proportionally to the diameter of the polyp. [Product Details...] |

The MDCT-scan as an important tool in the management of relapsing, overt upper gastrointestinal bleeding : letter to the editorPrice: €10,00 |
|
| Severe life-threatening hemorrhage in the duodenum
is nearly always due to an arterial bleeding in peptic- or
NSAID-induced ulcerations. In patients with overt
arterial
duodenal bleeding without visible ulcerations,
congenital vascular malformations must be considered,
especially in younger patients. [Product Details...] |
