An unusual pancreatic lesion causing biliary obstruction and duodenal invasion.
An 84-year-oldwomanwas admittedwith melena. She had had an enlarging pancreatic mass 2 years earlier requiring endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with sphincterotomy and biliary metal stent placement. Her current presentation included melena for 1 week. She did not have any pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal fullness or weight loss. Vital signs were within normal limits. On ph...
متن کاملFocal Biliary System Obstruction and Atypical Liver Mass: Intrabiliary Ruptured Cyst Hydatid Case Report
BACKGROUND Hydatid disease can involve any part of the body, but the liver is the most frequently affected organ. Intrabiliary rupture is one of the most serious complications of a hepatic hydatid cyst. Radiological findings, especially magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP), are helpful in the diagnosis of hydatid disease. CASE REPORT We present...
متن کاملAutoimmune Pancreatitis Presenting with Mass and Biliary Obstruction
We report a case of autoimmune pancreatitis in a 31-year-old man with signs and symptoms of biliary tract obstruction. Evaluation with sonography, computed tomography, and ultimately endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, demonstrated a 5 by 2 cm hypoechoic, hypodense mass near the head of the pancreas that extended into the porta hepatis. Common bile duct obstruction with proximal dil...
متن کاملBiliary obstruction selectively expands and activates liver myeloid dendritic cells.
Obstructive jaundice is associated with immunologic derangements and hepatic inflammation and fibrosis. Because dendritic cells (DCs) play a major role in immune regulation, we hypothesized that the immunosuppression associated with jaundice may result from the functional impairment of liver DCs. We found that bile duct ligation (BDL) in mice expanded the myeloid subtype of liver DCs from 20 to...
متن کاملAcute cholecystitis, biliary obstruction, and biliary leakage.
The use of cholescintigraphy to diagnose acute cholecystitis, biliary obstruction, and biliary leakage dates back to the late 1970s. Today, despite the many advances in imaging instrumentation, radiopharmaceuticals, and methodology over these years, cholescintigraphy still plays an important role in confirming or excluding these diagnoses in acutely ill patients. Acute calculous and acalculous ...
