Abstract:
Renal cell carcinoma is an aggressive malignancy, with distant metastases often diagnosed many years following radical nephrectomy. We describe a case of pancreatic metastasis in a patient with prior renal cell carcinoma and history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, diagnosed using endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure. Our case demonstrates the utility of endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric ERCP to both diagnose and manage treatment of malignancy in patients with altered anatomy, as a minimally invasive alternative to ERCP.

Muscles that Move the Head
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...
