RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) in differentiating non-acute benign from malignant gallbladder wall thickening (GBWT). METHODS: This prospective study comprised consecutive adults with GBWT who underwent late arterial phase (LAP) and portal venous phase (PVP) DECT between January 2022 and May 2023. The final diagnosis was based on histopathology or 3-6 months follow-up imaging. DECT images in LAP and PVP were assessed independently by two radiologists. The demographic, qualitative, and quantitative parameters were compared between two groups Multivariate logistic regression was performed to determine the association between the aforementioned factors and malignant GBWT. RESULTS: Seventy-five patients (mean age 56 ± 12.8 years, 46 females) were included. Forty-two patients had benign, and 33 had malignant GBWT. In the overall group, female gender (p = 0.018), lymphadenopathy (p = 0.011), and omental nodules (p = 0.044) were significantly associated with malignant GBWT. None of the DECT features differed significantly between benign and malignant GBWT in overall group. In the xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC, n = 9) vs. gallbladder cancer (GBC) (n = 33) subgroup, mean attenuation value at 140 keV LAP VMI was significantly associated with malignant GBWT [p = 0.023, area under curve 0.759 (95%CI 0.599-0.919)]. CONCLUSION: DECT-generated quantitative parameters do not add value in differentiating non-acute benign from malignant GBWT. However, DECT may have a role in differentiating XGC from GBC in a selected subgroup of patients. Further, larger studies may be necessary to confirm these findings. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: In patients with non-acute gallbladder wall thickening in whom there is suspicion of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC), DECT findings may allow differentiation of XGC from wall thickening type of gallbladder cancer. KEY POINTS: Differentiation of benign and malignant gallbladder wall thickening (GBWT) at CT is challenging. Quantitative dual energy CT (DECT) features do not provide additional value in differentiating benign and malignant GBWT. DECT may be helpful in a subgroup of patients to differentiate xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis from gallbladder cancer.

RESUMO

Backgrounds/Aims: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is being performed more frequently. A pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) leak is the major determinant of patient outcomes. An omental flap around PJ might improve postoperative outcomes. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial was planned at PGIMER, Chandigarh. Fifty-eight patients meeting the criteria were included in the study. Group A underwent PD with omental roll-up and group B underwent standard PD. Results: The mean age of patients in group A was 57.1 ± 14.3 years and 51.2 ± 10.7 in group B. Jaundice (p = 0.667), abdominal pain (p = 0.69), and co-morbidities were equal among the groups. The body mass index of patients in group B was higher at 24.3 ± 5.4 kg/m2 (p = 0.03). The common bile duct diameter (12.6 ± 5.3 mm vs. 17.2 ± 10.3 mm, p = 0.13) and the pancreatic duct diameter (4.06 ± 2.01 mm vs. 4.60 ± 2.43 mm, p = 0.91) were comparable. The intraoperative blood loss (mL) was significantly higher in group B (233.33 ± 9.57 vs. 343.33 ± 177.14, p = 0.04). Drain fluid amylase levels on postoperative day (POD) 1 (p = 0.97) and POD3 (p = 0.92) were comparable. The rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) grade A (p ≥ 0.99) and grade B (p = 0.54) were comparable. The mean postoperative length of stay among was similar (p = 0.89). Conclusions: An omental wrap can be performed without increase in complexity of the procedure. However, its utility in preventing POPFs and morbidity remains unclear.

RESUMO

Background: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is highly aggressive. Diagnosis of GBC is challenging as benign gallbladder lesions can have similar imaging features. We aim to develop and validate a deep learning (DL) model for the automatic detection of GBC at abdominal ultrasound (US) and compare its diagnostic performance with that of radiologists. Methods: In this prospective study, a multiscale, second-order pooling-based DL classifier model was trained (training and validation cohorts) using the US data of patients with gallbladder lesions acquired between August 2019 and June 2021 at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and research, a tertiary care hospital in North India. The performance of the DL model to detect GBC was evaluated in a temporally independent test cohort (July 2021-September 2022) and was compared with that of two radiologists. Findings: The study included 233 patients in the training set (mean age, 48 ± (2SD) 23 years; 142 women), 59 patients in the validation set (mean age, 51.4 ± 19.2 years; 38 women), and 273 patients in the test set (mean age, 50.4 ± 22.1 years; 177 women). In the test set, the DL model had sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 92.3% (95% CI, 88.1-95.6), 74.4% (95% CI, 65.3-79.9), and 0.887 (95% CI, 0.844-0.930), respectively for detecting GBC which was comparable to both the radiologists. The DL-based approach showed high sensitivity (89.8-93%) and AUC (0.810-0.890) for detecting GBC in the presence of stones, contracted gallbladders, lesion size <10 mm, and neck lesions, which was comparable to both the radiologists (p = 0.052-0.738 for sensitivity and p = 0.061-0.745 for AUC). The sensitivity for DL-based detection of mural thickening type of GBC was significantly greater than one of the radiologists (87.8% vs. 72.8%, p = 0.012), despite a reduced specificity. Interpretation: The DL-based approach demonstrated diagnostic performance comparable to experienced radiologists in detecting GBC using US. However, multicentre studies are warranted to explore the potential of DL-based diagnosis of GBC fully. Funding: None.

RESUMO

Introduction: Diagnosis of wall-thickening type gallbladder cancer (GBC) is challenging. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are commonly utilized to evaluate gallbladder wall thickening. However, there is a lack of data comparing the performance of CT and MRI for the detection of wall-thickening type GBC. Aim: We aim to compare the diagnostic accuracy of CT and MRI in diagnosis of wall-thickening type GBC. Materials and methods: This prospective study comprised consecutive patients suspected of wall-thickening type GBC who underwent preoperative contrast-enhanced CT and MRI. The final diagnosis was based on the histopathology of the resected gallbladder lesion. Two radiologists independently reviewed the characteristics of gallbladder wall thickening at CT and MRI. The association of CT and MRI findings with histological diagnosis and the interobserver agreement of CT and MRI findings were assessed. Results: Thirty-three patients (malignancy, 13 and benign, 20) were included. None of the CT findings were significantly associated with GBC. However, at MRI, heterogeneous enhancement, indistinct interface with the liver, and diffusion restriction were significantly associated with malignancy (P = 0.006, <0.001, and 0.005, respectively), and intramural cysts were significantly associated with benign lesions (P = 0.012). For all MRI findings, the interobserver agreement was substantial to perfect (kappa = 0.697-1.000). At CT, the interobserver agreement was substantial to perfect (k = 0.631-1.000). Conclusion: These findings suggest that MRI may be preferred over CT in patients with suspected wall thickening type GBC. However, larger multicenter studies must confirm our findings.

RESUMO

Fibromatoses are a heterogeneous group of benign proliferating fibroblasts and myofibroblasts which have a high predilection for recurrence and local invasion, especially deep fibromatoses or desmoid fibromatosis. 18F-FDG PET/CT, the workhorse of oncological imaging in nuclear medicine, can be employed to figure out the nature and aggressiveness of the lesions and various sites of involvement and to monitor treatment response to systemic therapies like tyrosine kinase inhibitors in case of deep or desmoid fibromatoses which is shown in the current research work.

RESUMO

Objective: This article aims to evaluate the intrareader and interreader agreement of ultrasound (US) gallbladder reporting and data system (GB-RADS) and validate the risk of malignancy in each GB-RADS category. Materials and methods: This retrospective study comprised consecutive patients with nonacute gallbladder wall thickening who underwent US evaluation between January 2019 and December 2022. Three radiologists independently read the static US images and cine-loops for GB-RADS findings and assigned GB-RADS categories. The intraobserver (static images) and interobserver (static images and cine-loops) agreement was calculated using kappa statistics and Krippendorff's alpha. Another radiologist assigned a consensus GB-RADS category. The percentage of malignancy in each GB-RADS category was calculated. Results: Static US images of 414 patients (median age, 56 years; 288 women, benign = 45.6% and malignant = 54.4%) and cine-loops of 50 patients were read. There was weak to moderate intrareader agreement for most GB-RADS findings and moderate intrareader agreement for the GB-RADS category for all readers. On static images, the interreader agreement was acceptable for GB-RADS categories. On cine-loops, the interreader agreement for GB-RADS findings and categories was better than static images. The percentage of malignancy was 1.2%, 37%, 71.1%, and 89.1% in GB-RADS 2, 3, 4, and 5 categories. Conclusion: GB-RADS has moderate intrareader for GB-RADS categories. As originally proposed, the risk of malignancy is negligible in GB-RADS 2 category and highest in GB-RADS 5 category. However, the discriminatory performance of GB-RADS 3 and 4 categories is low. Larger multicenter studies with more readers must assess the reader agreement and validate the GB-RADS systems for wider clinical utilization.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Wound-related infections and complications are rare after day care laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). They can have a significant adverse impact on the postoperative course after an uneventful elective LC. The use of topical antibiotics over the port site may prevent such complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This trial was conducted from January 2018 to June 2019. Two hundred and fifty patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. They were randomized into the topical antibiotic group (Group A, n = 125) and control group (Group B, n = 125). All patients underwent four-port LC. Mupirocin 2% topical antibiotic ointment was applied to all four-port sites in Group A, whereas no topical antibiotic was used in Group B. One dose of prophylactic systemic antibiotics was given to all patients in both groups. RESULTS: The mean age was 43.22 ± 12.7 years in Group A and 43.44 ± 12.5 years in Group B. The comorbidities and the other variables were comparable between the two groups. The port-site infection (PSI) was observed in one patient in Group A and three patients in Group B, which was statistically nonsignificant (P = 0.622). The mean time of detection of infection was 4.75 ± 1.7 days. All the infections were superficial surgical site infections. Microbiological swabs culture of the infected wounds yielded no growth of bacteria. CONCLUSION: The PSI after LC is very less. The use of topical antibiotics to prevent PSIs after LC could not be established.

RESUMO

Background: Biliary obstruction in gallbladder cancer (GBC) is associated with worse prognosis and needs drainage. In patients with biliary confluence involvement, percutaneous biliary drainage (PBD) is preferred over endoscopic drainage. However, PBD catheters are associated with higher complications compared to endoscopic drainage. PBD with self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) is desirable for palliation. However, the data in patients with unresectable GBC is lacking. Materials and methods: This retrospective study comprised consecutive patients with proven GBC who underwent PBD-SEMS insertion between January 2021 and December 2022. Technical success, post-procedural complications, clinical success, duration of stent patency, and biliary reinterventions were recorded. Clinical follow-up data was analysed at 30 days and 180 days of SEMS insertion and mortality was recorded. Results: Of the 416 patients with unresectable GBC, who underwent PBD, 28 (median age, 50 years; 16 females) with PBD-SEMS insertion were included. All SEMS placement procedures were technically successful. There were no immediate/early post-procedural complications/deaths. The procedures were clinically successful in 63.6% of the patients with hyperbilirubinemia (n = 11). Biliary re-interventions were done in 6 (21.4%). The survival rate was 89.3 % (25/28) at 30 days and 50% at 180 days. The median follow-up duration was 80 days (range, 8-438 days). Conclusion: PBD-SEMS has moderate clinical success and 6-months patency in almost half of the patients with metastatic GBC and must be considered for palliation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To describe the radiopathological characteristics of a new morphological "combined type" of gallbladder cancer (GBC) and compare it with the mass replacing gallbladder and thickening types of GBC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The imaging and pathological details of consecutive patients with GBC between August 2020 and December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Two radiologists reviewed computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging in consensus for the morphological type of GBC. The radiologists classified GBC as mass replacing gallbladder, wall thickening, and combined type. The combined type was defined as a mass arising from the thickened wall of an adequately distended gallbladder that extended exophytically into the adjacent liver parenchyma. The presence of calculi, site, and size of lesion, biliary/portal vein involvement, liver, lymph node, and omental metastases was compared among the various types. The pathological characteristics were also compared. RESULTS: Of the 481 patients (median age 55 years, 63.2% females) included in the study, mass replacing gallbladder, wall thickening, and combined-type GBC were seen in 42.8% (206/481), 40.5% (195/481), and 16.6% (80/481) of patients, respectively. In the combined type of GBC, biliary/portal vein involvement was seen in 63.7% (51/80) and 7.5% (6/80) of patients. Liver, lymph node, and omental metastases were seen in 67.5% (54/80), 40% (32/80), and 41.2% (33/80) patients, respectively. Liver metastases were significantly more common in the combined type (p = 0.002). There were no significant differences in pathological characteristics among the various types. CONCLUSION: Combined-type GBC is less common than the mass replacing gallbladder and thickening types and is associated with a higher risk of liver metastases.

RESUMO

Introduction: Injury is a significant global health burden and can result in mortality if not attended to on time. Trauma system refers to a collection of services provided by various super-specialties. According to the WHO-World Bank Report, RTA will rise from ninth place to the third biggest cause of mortality. Materials and Methods: The study was done at Advanced Trauma Centre (ATC) at PGIMER, a teaching hospital of north India. Study included area from most of the patient come for treatment (rural/urban) and injury patterns seen in these patients, which included mode of injury, type of injury, type of road accidents and location of injury. Results and Observations: In maximum cases, 60.2% (245) of the mode of injury was RTA. It was seen that the maximum number of patients, 44.4%, (115) had motorbike/scooter collisions with vehicles. In most patients, the type of injury seen was 35.9% (147) head, neck and back injuries, and in maximum cases, the location of the accident site was road/street 63.2%. Discussion: In our country, where the trauma delivery system is poorly developed, teaching hospitals have to bear the burden of treating many patients. No concept of emergency medicine or trauma care is in use, even in urban areas. As a result, teaching hospitals' emergency departments receive many referrals for emergency conditions.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The radiological differentiation of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) and gallbladder cancer (GBC) is challenging yet critical. We aimed at utilizing the deep learning (DL)-based approach for differentiating XGC and GBC on ultrasound (US). METHODS: This single-center study comprised consecutive patients with XGC and GBC from a prospectively acquired database who underwent pre-operative US evaluation of the gallbladder lesions. The performance of state-of-the-art (SOTA) DL models (GBCNet-convolutional neural network [CNN] and RadFormer, transformer) for XGC vs. GBC classification in US images was tested and compared with popular DL models and a radiologist. RESULTS: Twenty-five patients with XGC (mean age, 57 ± 12.3, 17 females) and 55 patients with GBC (mean age, 54.6 ± 11.9, 38 females) were included. The performance of GBCNet and RadFormer was comparable (sensitivity 89.1% vs. 87.3%, p = 0.738; specificity 72% vs. 84%, p = 0.563; and AUC 0.744 vs. 0.751, p = 0.514). The AUCs of DenseNet-121, vision transformer (ViT) and data-efficient image transformer (DeiT) were significantly smaller than of GBCNet (p = 0.015, 0.046, 0.013, respectively) and RadFormer (p = 0.012, 0.027, 0.007, respectively). The radiologist labeled US images of 24 (30%) patients non-diagnostic. In the remaining patients, the sensitivity, specificity and AUC for GBC detection were 92.7%, 35.7% and 0.642, respectively. The specificity of the radiologist was significantly lower than of GBCNet and RadFormer (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: SOTA DL models have a better performance than radiologists in differentiating XGC and GBC on the US.

RESUMO

Biliary adenofibroma (BAF) is an uncommon liver tumor with a high propensity for malignant transformation. The histomorphology of BAF with malignant transformation can show a spectrum of changes ranging from benign, dysplastic to frank malignancy. Thus, the diagnosis of BAF imposes the pursuit of dysplasia/ malignancy focus. We presented a case of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma arising from BAF in a 49-year-old woman with detailed histomorphology. We also performed a PubMed database search and tabulated all previously reported cases of BAF with dysplasia/ malignant transformation. A statistic comparison of age, sex ratio, size of the tumor, and survival following complete resection between BAFs with and without dysplasia/ malignancy from the retrieved data is presented. Our analysis did not highlight any statistically significant difference between BAFs with and without dysplasia/ malignancy in age, sex ratio, tumor size, and survival following complete surgical resection. Our study highlights the histopathology and immunohistochemistry of a case of BAF with malignant transformation and highlights the importance of this diagnosis in management. Further longitudinal studies on a larger cohort of patients are required to validate our findings.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program established improved clinical outcomes in elective surgery; however, its role in emergencies is uncertain. This study was designed to assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a tailored-ERAS (t-ERAS) protocol in patients undergoing modified Graham's patch closure for gastro-duodenal perforation. METHODS: A single-centre, prospective, parallel-arm, open-label, randomized controlled trial was conducted from February 2021 to December 2021. Patients with gastroduodenal perforation undergoing modified Graham's patch were randomly assigned to either conventional care or the t-ERAS pathway. Patients with refractory septic shock, psychiatric or neurological disorders, pregnancy, multiple perforations, sealed-off perforations, and perforation sizes greater than 1.5 cm were excluded. The primary outcome was to compare the length of hospitalization (LOH). Functional recovery parameters and morbidity were compared in secondary outcomes. RESULTS: Twenty-five patients each were included in conventional care and the t-ERAS group. In the t-ERAS group, LOH was significantly shorter (6.3 SD2.15 days versus 9.56 SD4.33 days, p = 0.001). Patients in the t-ERAS group had significantly early functional recovery (days) with time to first bowel sound (1.8 SD0.41; p 0.002), first flatus (2.52 SD0.65; p = 0.026), first stool (3.04 SD0.68; p < 0.001), first liquid diet (2.24 SD0.60; p = 0.002), and duration of ileus (2.64 SD0.86; p = 0.038). There was no significant difference in morbidity such as post-operative nausea and vomiting, SSI, or pulmonary complications between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Tailored ERAS pathways are safe and effective in reducing the LOH and promoting early functional recovery in patients undergoing emergency closure of gastro-duodenal perforation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) causes an unexpected prolonged hospital stay after ambulatory surgery. Novel measures such as preoperative loading of oral carbohydrates and postoperative chewing gum have recently gained momentum for postoperative recovery. This study evaluated the effects of preoperative carbohydrate loading and postoperative chewing gum (CG) on PONV after daycare laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). METHODS: A total of 100 patients were randomized to group A (preoperative carbohydrate loading with 200 ml of water with 25 g of carbohydrate and postoperative chewing gum (CG) when the patient responded to his/her name) and group B (standard care). The incidence of PONV and pain was assessed by using visual analogue scale. Quality of recovery (QoR-15) was assessed by using QoR15 questionnaire at 6 h, 24 h and 48 h after surgery. RESULTS: The incidence of PONV and pain was lower in group A; however, it was not significant (p > 0.05). The severity of PONV, pain and the need for rescue antiemetic was significantly lower in group A (p < 0.05). The episodes of PONV and required dose of antiemetic were less in group A. Group A also had a significantly higher QoR-15 score at all time points (p < 0.001). Preoperative dyspepsia was also noticed as a significant confounding predictor for postoperative vomiting. CONCLUSION: Preoperative carbohydrate drinks and early postoperative CG reduces the severity of PONV and requirement of antiemetics in patients undergoing LC. Hence, these simple measures can be used as a standard of care to optimize perioperative care in patients undergoing daycare surgery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal approach with promising results in improving patient outcome. Only recently, is evidence emerging highlighting how similar principles of care can be applied to patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery. METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted from November 2021 to April 2022 at PGIMER Chandigarh, which is a leading tertiary care hospital in northern India. 60 patients with acute intestinal obstruction requiring emergency laparotomy were randomized and assigned to ERAS or Non-ERAS group. ERAS protocol with some modifications was applied. Primary endpoints were post-operative hospital stay. Secondary end points were morbidity, 30-day readmission and mortality rate. Data analysis was done using SPSS 22.0. Independent t test or Mann-Whitney test and Chi-square or Fisher-exact test were used for analysis. RESULTS: A significant 3-day reduction in hospital stay was observed in ERAS compared to non-ERAS group (median (interquartile range) 5.50 (4.75-8.25) vs 8.0 (6.0-11.0) p = 0.003) with no difference in 30-day readmission rate, mortality rate and complication rate (according to Clavien-Dindo classification). ERAS group was associated with early recovery of gastrointestinal functions including time to first passage of flatus (p < 0.001), stools (p = 0.014), early ambulation (p < 0.001), time to first fluid diet (p < 0.001), solid diet (p = 0.001) and reduced nasogastric tube reinsertion rates (p = 0.01) despite its early removal. CONCLUSION: ERAS with some modifications can be applied in patients with intestinal obstruction. Thus, we can expedite post-operative recovery and early regain of gastrointestinal function with decreased hospital stay, comparable morbidity and mortality. Further studies are needed to assess ERAS role in emergency gastrointestinal surgeries. Trial registration Ctri.gov Identifier: CTRI/2022/04/042156.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a rare, debilitating disease associated with higher morbidity and mortality if not treated on time. In the past two decades, there has been a paradigm shift in its management with endovascular modality due to reduced perioperative morbidity and mortality. In the endovascular era, only a few patients require surgical therapy. We conducted this study to report our experience with open surgical revascularization at our hospital. METHODS: We have conducted a retrospective study after obtaining approval from Institutional Ethics Committee. Data regarding patients who underwent open revascularization for CMI with long-segment occlusion from 2016 to 2021 has been retrieved from the institutional database. The demographic data, clinical presentation, type of surgery and graft used, perioperative mortality and morbidity and length of hospital stay were evaluated. Overall survival and disease-free survival were assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS: Twenty-one patients underwent open surgical revascularization; 16 were males and five females. The median age was 43 years. Fourteen (66.7%) were smokers. The mean duration of follow-up was 28.4 ± 13.6 months. Thirty-day postoperative mortality was 0% and morbidity was 28%. The average duration of hospital stay and postoperative weight gain were 6.9 ± 3.7 days and 11 ± 4.9 kgs, respectively. One patient died at two years of follow-up due to myocardial infarction and one had a recurrence. Long-term survival at 60 months of follow-up was 91.6% and the primary-patency rate was 95.2%. CONCLUSION: Owing to better long-term and reintervention-free patency, open revascularization should be considered in patients who are fit for surgery, particularly in patients with long-segment mesenteric artery occlusion.

RESUMO

Serous cystadenoma (SCA) is the most common cystic neoplasm of the pancreas. Serous cystadenoma is best diagnosed by imaging with computed tomography scan. Fine-needle aspiration cytology is required for definitive preoperative diagnosis. Serous cystadenoma may be sometime difficult to differentiate from pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) in the preoperative stage. Differentiating the two entities are important for proper treatment strategy. Serous cystadenoma may be managed in expectant observation. However, all PNETs will need surgical treatment including pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Here, we present a rare presentation of serous cystadenoma head of pancreas masquerading as PNET with local compressive symptoms for which Whipple's PD was done successfully.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors. Anemia is a common finding in GIST, but the relationship between tumor volume and anemia severity is not well established. METHODS: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the severity of anemia and various factors, mainly tumor volume, in GIST patients who underwent surgical resection. The study included 20 patients with GIST who underwent surgical resection at a tertiary care center. Demographic data, clinical presentation, hemoglobin level, radiological findings, surgical procedure, tumor characteristics, pathological findings, and immunohistochemical analysis were recorded. The tumor volume was calculated from the final resected tumor dimensions. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 53.8 ± 12 years. Eleven were males, and nine were females. The most common presentation was upper gastrointestinal bleeding (50%), followed by pain in the abdomen (35%). The most common tumor location was the stomach (75%). The mean hemoglobin level was 10.29 ± 1.9 g/dL. The mean tumor volume was 470.8 ± 1269.07 cc. R0 resection was achieved in 18 (90%) patients. There was no significant correlation between tumor volume and hemoglobin level (r=0.227, p=0.358). CONCLUSION: This study found no significant correlation between tumor volume and the severity of anemia in patients with GIST. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to validate these findings.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There is relatively scarce data on the computed tomography (CT) detection of gastrointestinal (GI) involvement in gallbladder cancer (GBC). We aim to assess the GI involvement in GBC on CT and propose a CT-based classification. METHODS: This retrospective study comprized consecutive patients with GBC who underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) for staging between January 2019 and April 2022. Two radiologists evaluated the CT images independently for the morphological type of GBC and the presence of GI involvement. GI involvement was classified into probable involvement, definite involvement and GI fistulization. The incidence of GI involvement and the association of GI involvement with the morphological type of GBC was evaluated. In addition, the inter-observer agreement for GI involvement was assessed. RESULTS: Over the study period, 260 patients with GBC were evaluated. Forty-three (16.5%) patients had GI involvement. Probable GI involvement, definite GI involvement and GI fistulization were seen in 18 (41.9%), 19 (44.2%) and six (13.9%) patients, respectively. Duodenum was the most common site of involvement (55.8%), followed by hepatic flexure (23.3%), antropyloric region (9.3%) and transverse colon (2.3%). There was no association between GI involvement and morphological type of GBC. There was substantial to near-perfect agreement between the two radiologists for the overall GI involvement (k = 0.790), definite GI involvement (k = 0.815) and GI fistulization (k = 0.943). There was moderate agreement (k = 0.567) for probable GI involvement. CONCLUSION: GBC frequently involves the GI tract and CT can be used to categorize the GI involvement. However, the proposed CT classification needs validation.
