Fat necrosis secondary to pancreatitis mimicking transverse colon cancer: a case report
Authors
Abstract:
Abstract Fat necrosis secondary to pancreatitis can be either mild and self limited or create severe organ damage, but may rarely lead to abdominal opancreatic pseudotumor. We report a case of fat necrosis secondary to pancreatitis which clinically simulates transverse colon cancer.

Acute pancreatitis can result in retroperitoneal fat necrosis, typically occurring in the peripancreatic region, with extension into the transverse mesocolon, omentum and mesenteric root. When evaluated with contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT), acute peripancreatic post necrotic collections typically become lower in attenuation over time, and often appear as homogeneous fluid collectio...
full textSpontaneous regression of transverse colon cancer: a case report
Spontaneous regression (SR) of many malignant tumors has been well documented, with an approximate incidence of one per 60,000-100,000 cancer patients. However, SR of colorectal cancer (CRC) is very rare, accounting for less than 2% of such cases. We report a case of SR of transverse colon cancer in an 80-year-old man undergoing outpatient follow-up after surgical treatment of early gastric can...

INTRODUCTION Gastrocolic fistula is a rare complication of adenocarcinoma of the colon. Despite radical resections, these patients usually have a poor prognosis with a mean survival of 23 months and long-term survival is rarely reported. CASE PRESENTATION A 48-year-old Latino-American man presented with watery diarrhea, diffuse abdominal pain and weight loss for 3 months. A computed tomograph...
full textTraumatic fat necrosis; a case report.
Sir, Panniculitis has a multiple aetiology. One of the less common causes is trauma and hence traumatic fat necrosis. These soft tissue injuries usually appear on the shins, thighs, breasts, arms and buttocks. Women are particularly susceptible (1, 2). The initial injury is usually bruising of the skin with a haematoma, and later deeper indurated lesions can be palpated (2, 3). Traumatic pannic...
