Introduction. Teduglutide is a synthetic analogue of the glucagon-like peptide type 2, recently approved in Europe and in the United States for paediatric use, to promote intestinal adaptation in short bowel syndrome cases. The experience in children is limited. Objective. The aim of this work is to present the evolution of the first paediatric series treated with teduglutide in Argentina. Material and methods. A prospective study was realized on patient records under 18 years treated in a rehabilitation and intestine transplant unit since 2017. Of 62 children with short bowel syndrome, 5 received teduglutide 0.05 mg/kg/subcutaneous day. Diagnostics, type of anatomy and evolution of parenteral nutrition requirements were realized . Results. Etiology of short bowel syndrome: 3 congenital malformations: 2 atresias, 1 gastroschisis, two causes in older children: 1 volvulus and 1 abdominal trauma. Anatomy. Three patients type 2A, one type 2B and one type 3A, the length of the remaining intestine (mean and DS) 25.7 ± 19 cm, 1 with ileocecal valve and colon, 4 left hemicolon. The age at the beginning of parenteral nutrition was 6.2 ± 0.4 years, time on previous parenteral nutrition was 7.1 ± 4 years. The treatment time with teduglutide was 52.2 ± 39 weeks. The parenteral nutrition requirements were reduced by 56 ± 48%, in all patients, and could be suspended in 2 (at the 29th and 24th weeks of treatment). There was no deterioration of the z score of BMI/age (initial 0.16 ± 0.3 vs. 0.14 ± 1.02), nor of the height/age (-2.01 ± 1.5 vs. -1.76 ± 1.42). Conclusion. It was concluded that the use of teduglutide as a therapeutic alternative in the short bowel syndrome in paediatrics was effective and safe in this group of patients, allowing the restoration of intestinal sufficiency or reducing the requirements of parenteral nutrition.

Background. Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is an uncommon exocrine pancreatic tumor of epithelial origin, which represents only 1% to 2% of all pancreatic tumors and mainly affects young women. Objective. To describe clinical and imaging features of these rare entity in a symptomatic young woman. Case report. 41-year-old female patient, without morbid history, consulted for intermittent epigastralgia of one-month evolution. Abdominal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the presence of a solid-cystic mass of neoplastic appearance in the body-tail of the pancreas. The case was presented to the institutional hepato-biliary committee where surgical resection was decided. Discussion. Although solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas are very uncommon pancreatic tumors, it is necessary to keep them within the differential diagnosis on the one hand due to their low but existing malignant potential and on the other hand due to their good prognosis with surgical treatment.

When endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) fails or is not feasible for drainage of the bile duct, endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is a viable option. This technique of drainage has a lower complication rate and a better quality of life concerning percutaneous or surgical drainage. The aim of this work is to show our initial experience in this technique, in patients with malignant bile duct stenosis, in a referral centre. We performed a descriptive study of case series. Five patients with obstructive jaundice of neoplastic origin, in whom ERCP drainage was not feasible, were included EUS-BD was performed. Technical success of 100% was achieved in all cases and clinical success in four cases (80%). Post-procedural bleeding occurred in one patient, and two late complications: infection and prosthetic migration, all of which were resolved with conservative treatment. No serious adverse events were recorded. EUS-BD is a feasible and effective treatment option in selected cases particularly in cases of malignant biliary obstruction, with high technical and clinical success rates. Complications are usually mild and resolve conservatively.

The esophageal perforation is a well-documented clinical entity, with high morbidity and mortality rates. Although the etiology is usually iatrogenic, it can occur spontaneously without any known pre-existing esophageal patology. Boerhaave first described it in relation to the increased intra-abdominal pressure. Upon clinical suspicion (for the Mackler’s triad), further radiological studies (plain radiograph, chest radiograph with water-soluble contrast medium and computer tomography) are a key factors for a timely and precise diagnosis, leading to adequate treatment and managment. The objective of this study is to present a case report and a bibliographical review of the patology and its radiological signs.

Cholecystocolonic fistula is an unusual and late complication of cholelithiasis. The symptoms usually are nonspecific and most cases are diagnosed intraoperatively. Our patient was a female, 75 years old, smoker, with a severe aortic stenosis history. She had a 6-month evolution diarrhea associated with weight loss, coagulopathy and aerobilia in abdominal ultrasound. On behalf of the clinic manifestations, cholecystocolonic fistula was suspected so an abdominal computer tomography scan and a cholangioresonance confirmed this suspicion. Given the patient comorbidities, we decided not to perform a surgical approach. An endoscopic retrograde cholangiography with extraction of choledocolithiasis and placement of a fully covered self-expanding metallic stent was associated with a video colonoscopy and closure of the colonic fistula with a clip device. The patient had a favourable evolution and was discharged on the second day post-procedure. After 3 months of follow-up, she did not present diarrhea and has recovered her weight loss and nutritional status. Given the unusual nature of the case and the significance of the preoperative diagnosis, which allowed us to carry out a minimally invasive treatment, we believe that its report is useful. We place special emphasis on the aerobic triad, alteration of the prothrombin concentration and chronic diarrhea that allowed us to suspect the diagnosis.

Background. The gastrointestinal tract is one of the most common sites for the development of primary neoplasms in the patients with a pre-existing infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Approximately it is considered that the 40% of HIV patients will develop some type of cancer and there is a common observation that neoplasms are more aggressive in these patients. Only Kaposi’s sarcoma and non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma are located in the gastrointestinal tract in a primary way and are considered as defining acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). There is another group of non-defining AIDS Neoplasm, but these are more frequent in these patients, such as anal and the colon neoplasia. Objectives. are to determine the frequency, epidemiology and histology of neoplasia’s of gastrointestinal malignancies associated with patients with HIV. Material and methods. It was a descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study conducted in the pathology service of Hospital Juárez de México from 2006 to 2015. The results were analyzed with relative and central frequency measurements to obtain percentages, mean, average and deviation standard. Results. We included 75 HIV patients associated with a Gastrointestinal cancer. The average age was 35.4 ± 8.2 with predominance of the male gender in 83%. The most frequent site of localization was the colon and the rectum with 43% of the cases. The service that most referred was oncology with 57%. The predominant histological type was adenocarcinoma (35%). Conclusions. Gastrointestinal neoplasia in patients with HIV is most frequently seen in the colon and the rectum, with adenocarcinoma being the most common histological type.
背景。胃肠道是先前感染人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)的患者发生原发性肿瘤最常见的部位之一。大约40%的HIV患者被认为会发展成某种类型的癌症,并且有一个普遍的观察,肿瘤在这些患者中更具侵袭性。只有卡波西肉瘤和非霍奇金淋巴瘤原发于胃肠道,被认为是获得性免疫缺陷综合征(艾滋病)的定义。还有一组不明确的艾滋病肿瘤,但这些在这些患者中更常见,如肛门和结肠肿瘤。目标。目的:确定与HIV患者相关的胃肠道恶性肿瘤的发生频率、流行病学和组织学。材料和方法。本研究是一项描述性、横断面和回顾性的研究,于2006年至2015年在Juárez de m西戈医院病理服务部进行。用相对频率和中心频率测量对结果进行分析,得到百分比、平均值、平均值和偏差标准。结果。我们纳入了75例与胃肠道癌症相关的HIV患者。平均年龄35.4±8.2岁,以男性为主,占83%。最常见的定位部位是结肠和直肠,占43%。被提及最多的是肿瘤科,占57%。主要组织学类型为腺癌(35%)。结论。HIV患者的胃肠道肿瘤最常见于结肠和直肠,腺癌是最常见的组织学类型。
