Duodenal diversion of percutaneous biliary drain through a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy: report of a case.

Occasionally, percutaneous biliary drainage is the only possible form of treatment in a patient with a malignant obstruction at the porta hepatis. We report on a case of gallbladder carcinoma with a complete block at the porta hepatis, which was palliated with a percutaneous biliary drain. Enteral reinfusion of bile was accomplished through a duodenal tube placed through a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy.

Association of esophageal cancer and esophageal varices.

Of the 312 cases of esophageal cancer seen over 2 years, four patients had associated varices. Three patients gave history of alcohol abuse. All had malnutrition and splenomegaly. Endoscopic biopsies were safe in the presence of varices. External radiation did not have any untoward effect on the varices. Prophylactic sclerotherapy was not required in these patients. The association between esophageal carcinoma and varices could be secondary to alcohol consumption or merely coincidental.

Medication induced esophageal injury.

Five patients of medication-induced esophageal injury are reported. A history of ingestion of medications preceding the onset of dysphagia was obtained in all patients. Endoscopy revealed localised mucosal ulceration with surrounding edematous mucosa at the level of the aortic arch in four, and in the retro-cardiac esophagus in one patient. The medications involved were sustained release potassium chloride, doxycycline, ibuprofen, and an unidentified antibiotic and antihypertensive (one each). Healing of the esophageal ulcers was confirmed in all the patients by endoscopy.

Tuberculosis of the pancreas: report of three cases.

Three cases of pancreatic tuberculosis are described. The first patient presented with abdominal pain, weight loss, anorexia, vomiting, hepatomegaly, and mass in the head of the pancreas, on computerized tomographic (CT) scan. The second patient presented with low grade fever, anorexia, and weight loss, and was investigated for gallbladder disease. The third patient presented with obstructive jaundice and mass lesion in the head of the pancreas. Two patients underwent laparotomy for suspected pancreatic tumors. The findings of pancreatic disease was incidental during laparotomy in the second patient. The histopathology revealed caseating granuloma in all of them. The first patient responded well to treatment, and the second patient stopped treatment after 2 months and is well. The third patient is being followed. If malignancy can be ruled out, tuberculosis should be considered in relevant geographic areas, and a tissue diagnosis should be made.
