Summary
A blunt abdominal trauma initially suggested a pancreatic injury, but surgery revealed a hidden solid pseudopapillary tumor. This case highlights the importance of considering unexpected diagnoses in trauma patients.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Oncology
- Diagnostic Imaging
Background:
- Blunt abdominal trauma can cause complex injuries, including pancreatic damage.
- Intrapancreatic hematomas can obscure underlying pancreatic pathologies.
- Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate surgical management.

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management
502
Acute pancreatitis presents a complex medical emergency characterized by rapid onset inflammation of the pancreas, demanding timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications. The condition primarily manifests through severe upper abdominal pain that often radiates to the back. This pain intensifies following the consumption of fatty foods. Accompanying symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, fever, dyspnea, cyanosis, and jaundice can vary in intensity but significantly...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
504
The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
916
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. It can be either acute or chronic.
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
