Solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas (SPT) are rare tumors of the pancreas with low malignancy potential and a very good prognostic outcome after surgery. The outcome after radical resection is favourable. A case of solid-pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas in a 20-year-old woman is presented. The patient underwent resection of the mass in the pancreatic head and pancreaticoduod...

background: oral vanadyl sulfate (vanadium) induces normoglycemia, proliferates beta cells and prevents pancreatic islet atrophy in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. soteriological method is used to quantitate the proliferative effects of vanadium on beta-cell numbers and islet volumes of normal and diabetic rats. methods: adult male sprague-dawley rats were made diabetic with intravenous s...

heterotopic pancreas is an uncommon developmental anomaly of upper gastrointestinal tract. heterotopic pancreas tissue is very rarely found in ileum. intussusception in children is usually idiopathic, but definitive aetiology can be established in 90% of adult cases. we are reporting a case of pancreatic heterotopia presenting as a lead point of ileo-ileal intussusception in a 1year 3month year...

histological and histochemical studies on the pancreas of goose (anser albifrons) were carried out using special staining and light microscope. the pancreas in goose is serous tubuloacinar gland having exocrine and endocrine part. smooth muscle fibres were absent in capsule of pancreas. acinar cells have bizonal shape. intralobular ducts, interlobular and main excretory ducts were present withi...

Introduction: According to the powerful antioxidant effects of rosuvastatin, the present study aimed to examine the protective effects of rosuvastatin against oxidative damage of diabetic pancreas by potentiation of the antioxidant capacity in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Methods: Experiment was performed in four groups of male Wistar rats (n=6 in each group): normal, diabetic and ...

abstract annular pancreas (ap) is a rare congenital malformation resulting from failure of pancreas ventral anlage rotation with the duodenum. this leads to a ring of pancreatic tissue that envelops the duodenum. clinical manifestations of ap most commonly develop in infancy or early childhood but can present at any age. the diagnosis of ap, usually suggested by an upper gi series or abdominal ...

anatomical variations of duodenum such as atresia, stenosis, and variations in shape have been described by various authors, but the existence of a gross anomaly in shape and position of midgut segment of the duodenum is rare. few reported cases of duodenal anomalies date back to early twentieth century. in the wake of advancement of imaging techniques and minimal access surgeries, authors repo...

background: pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pnens) are increasing in the world. the annual incidence of pnets is nearly 0.25 per 100 000 population. 1-2% of pancreatic neoplasms are pnens. materials and methods: this article reviewed the available original and review literatures which had been published in persian and english in websites of google scholar, iran doc and pub med with keyword...
