article Serous Cystadenocarcinoma of the Pancreas Presenting with Liver Metastases: Case Report and Literature Review(2016) PERINI, Marcos Vinicius; LIMA, Fabiana Roberto; FRENK, Nathan Elie; LEDO FILHO, Hilton Muniz; COELHO, Fabricio Ferreira; KRUGER, Jaime Arthur; ROCHA, Manoel de Souza; HERMAN, PauloSerous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are usually benign. Malignant serous cystic neoplasm is a rare clinical entity. We report a case of a 45-year-old man presenting with metastatic liver lesions on ultrasound. Computed tomography scan showed a hypervascular solid lesion arising in the pancreatic body and invading the celiac axis and portal vein with liver metastases. Ultrasound-guided liver biopsy diagnosed a serous cystic neoplasm, indistinguishable from serous cystadenoma. Based on clinical, radiological and pathological correlation, the diagnosis of cystadenocarcinoma was established. There are few reported cases of malignant serous cystic neoplasms in which malignancy was confirmed. Although rare in males, cystadenocarcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with a pancreatic mass and liver metastasis.- Necrose pancreática delimitada e outros conceitos atuais na avaliação radiológica da pancreatite aguda(2014) CUNHA, Elen Freitas de Cerqueira; ROCHA, Manoel de Souza; PEREIRA, Fábio Payão; BLASBALG, Roberto; BARONI, Ronaldo HuebAcute pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition caused by intracellular activation and extravasation of inappropriate proteolytic enzymes determining destruction of pancreatic parenchyma and peripancreatic tissues. This is a fairly common clinical condition with two main presentations, namely, endematous pancreatitis - a less severe presentation -, and necrotizing pancreatitis - the most severe presentation that affects a significant part of patients. The radiological evaluation, particularly by computed tomography, plays a fundamental role in the definition of the management of severe cases, especially regarding the characterization of local complications with implications in the prognosis and in the definition of the therapeutic approach. New concepts include the subdivision of necrotizing pancreatitis into the following presentations: pancreatic parenchymal necrosis with concomitant peripancreatic tissue necrosis, and necrosis restricted to peripancreatic tissues. Moreover, there was a systematization of the terms acute peripancreatic fluid collection, pseudocyst, post-necrotic pancreatic/peripancreatic fluid collections and walled-off pancreatic necrosis. The knowledge about such terms is extremely relevant to standardize the terminology utilized by specialists involved in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients.
- Hepatocellular Carcinoma Related to Schistosoma mansoni Infection: Case Series and Literature Review(2015) TODA, Karla Sawada; KIKUCHI, Luciana; CHAGAS, Aline Lopes; TANIGAWA, Ryan Yukimatsu; PARANAGUA-VEZOZZO, Denise Cerqueira; PFIFFER, Tulio; ROCHA, Manoel de Souza; ALVES, Venancio Avancini Ferreira; CARRILHO, Flair JoseBackground and Aims: Schistosomiasis is a major chronic disease of humans in endemic regions, and infected individuals may develop a spectrumof pathology, including hepatic fibrosis, hepatosplenomegaly, and portal hypertension. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is considered the fifth most common cancer in the world, and there is limited and controversial evidence suggesting that Schistosoma mansoni infection may be a possible risk factor for HCC. The aim of this study was to report a case series of patients with HCC and S. mansoni infection and to conduct a literature review on the topic. Methods: From January 2002 to January 2015, an institutional database was screened retrospectively to identify patients with HCC and S. mansoni infection at a single center in the Department of Gastroenterology of University of Sao Paulo School of Medicine and Hospital das Clinicas, Brazil. Results: Seven cases were included. The mean age of patients was 62.1 +/- 10.3 years; six (85.7%) were male and one (14.3%) was female. All cases had positive epidemiology, coming from endemic areas of S. mansoni infection in Brazil, and four (57.1%) had previous complications (upper gastrointestinal bleeding) related toportal hypertension or surgery intervention (splenectomy) performed more than 10 years before the HCC diagnosis. Nontumoral portal vein thrombosis was identified in five (71.4%) patients. All patients had negative serology for HCV, and four (57.1%) had positivity of HBVcore antibodies without evidence of viral replication. According to BCLC staging, one (14.3%) patient was BCLC A and received TACE instead of RFA because HCC size was >30 mm; three (42.8%) BCLC B patients received sorafenib instead of local regional treatment due to the presence of nontumoral TPV. During follow-up, all patients developed tumoral progression and died. Conclusions: It remains unclear if S. mansoni infection alone has carcinogenic potential. The available literature indicates that S. Mansoni, in the presence of HBV and HCV infections, likely acts as a cofactor for the hepatic lesion and potentiates injury.
