Hemosuccus pancreaticus due to a noninflammatory pancreatic pseudotumor.
CONTEXT Hemosuccus pancreaticus is a rare source of gastrointestinal bleeding, the most frequent cause of which is pancreatitis, followed by tumors, but nearly all these tumors are true neoplasms, and not pseudotumors. Furthermore, nearly all pseudotumors of the pancreas and retroperitoneum are inflammatory. CASE REPORT We present a case of hemosuccus pancreaticus associated with a nonneoplas...
متن کاملHemosuccus pancreaticus due to primary splenic artery aneurysm: a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
CONTEXT Hemosuccus pancreaticus is a rare cause of upper chronic and intermittent gastrointestinal hemorrhage which cannot be easily detected by endoscopy. It is usually due to the rupture of a visceral aneurysm into the main pancreatic duct; splenic artery pseudoaneurysm associated with chronic pancreatitis represents the leading cause of this condition. The diagnosis is based on direct visual...

متن کاملA novel endoscopic treatment of hemosuccus pancreaticus: a stent tree tamponade.
CONTEXT Hemosuccus pancreaticus is a rare cause of intermittent upper gastrointestinal bleeding, commonly caused by aneurysmal rupture. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is required. The standard treatment involves embolization via interventional radiology or a surgical approach. CASE REPORT We report a novel endoscopic approach to hemosuccus pancreaticus with a successful tamponade via pancreat...
متن کاملSplenic Cyst Mimicking Gastric Subepithelial Tumor Diagnosed by Endoscopic Ultrasonography
Recent research reveal that the diagnosis of gastric extraluminal compressions mimicking subepithelial tumor is increasing in numbers as esophagogastroduodenoscopy becomes widespread. Endoscopic ultrasonography is a very useful tool for differentiating extraluminal compressions from subepithelial tumors. Gastric extraluminal compressions are due to compression by either normal adjacent organs o...
