Morphohistological Study of a Peculiar and Grooved Pancreas with its Unusual Relation with Stomach and Duodenum

چکیده
Background Knowledge regarding any variations related to the morphology, relations of the pancreas is imperative for a surgeon operating on this region. Cadaveric observations are considered to be the base for clinical investigations and hence this morphohistological study of the unusual, grooved pancreas with its unique presentation was undertaken in an adult cadaver. Materials and method Abdominal dissection of a male corpse aged about 60 years showing an altered relation of the pancreas with stomach and duodenum was studied grossly and histologically. A sample of pancreatic tissue was processed and stained with Haematoxylin & Eosin and a special Mayers Mucicarmine stains. Results Pylorus of the stomach was structurally adherent to the head of the pancreas. Due to the deep incisura of lesser curvature of the stomach, the body of the pancreas was completely exposed to the anterior abdominal wall. The gastroduodenal junction crossed over the head which resulted in a groove at the neck of the pancreas. Pancreatic parenchyma showed normal histological features with no evidence of ischemia or necrosis. However, vascular congestions were clearly evident probably due to the compression of overlying organs. Conclusion An awareness of these variations may help in surgical planning and prevention of inadvertent injury. Received April 04th, 2016 Accepted May 10th, 2016

An Unusual Presentation of Annular Pancreas: A Case Report
Abstract Annular pancreas (AP) is a rare congenital malformation resulting from failure of pancreas ventral anlage rotation with the duodenum. This leads to a ring of pancreatic tissue that envelops the duodenum. Clinical manifestations of AP most commonly develop in infancy or early childhood but can present at any age. The diagnosis of AP, usually suggested by an upper GI series or abdominal ...

Introduction: In the present experimental investigation, the thermal and electrical performances of a photovoltaic/thermal system equipped with a sheet-and-grooved serpentine tube collector are investigated. The water-magnetite nanofluid is used as the heat transfer fluid. The effect of nanoparticle volume concentration (0-1%), nanofluid mass flow rate (10-40 kg/h) and groove pitch (0, 0.54 an...
متن کاملInflammation of ectopic pancreatic tissue as unusual cause of duodenal perforation--a case report.
Ectopic pancreatic tissue, also known as a pancreatic rest, is an uncommon congenital anomaly defined as extrapancreatic tissue located far from the pancreas and without any connection via vascular or anatomical means to it. Such tissue may occur throughout the GI tract but has a propensity to affect the stomach and the proximal small intestine. The majority of patients with pancreatic ectopia ...
