Trans Splenic Pancreatic Mass FNAC

Dr.sandeep Sharma


Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (EUS-FNAC) is a minimally invasive procedure that is commonly used to assess deep-seated benign and malignant tumours. The utility of cytological samples in lymphoma diagnosis, on the other hand, is still debatable. Real-time puncture, reduced risk of complications due to the needle's proximity to the lesion, and the ability to sample small lesions that would be difficult to sample using other methods are all advantages of EUS over other imaging modalities. Finally, EUS provides access to deep-seated lesions, which is difficult to achieve with conventional methods. With an overall accuracy of 65 per cent to 100 per cent, EUS allows for sampling of mediastinal, retroperitoneal, and per gastrointestinal lymph nodes.

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy guided by endoscopic ultrasonography. Through the mouth and into the oesophagus, an endoscope with an ultrasonography probe and a biopsy needle is introduced. The probe sends sound waves across the body, creating echoes that generate a sonogram of the lymph nodes around the oesophagus.  The initial step in diagnosing a suspected pancreatic mass lesion is to use non-invasive imaging techniques such as computed tomography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Tissue acquisition for characterization of a suspicious lesion is typically crucial in designing a personalised therapy approach once a suspect lesion has been identified. In addition to radiologic imaging, serum tumour markers, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, Ultrasound-guided (USG) fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) are currently used in the initial evaluation of a patient with a pancreatic mass lesion.

The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value of EUS-FNAC are all high. By overcoming the limitations of EUS-FNAC, it will become a valuable and trustworthy diagnostic tool for assessing pancreatic lesions accurately.

Signs and symptoms of pancreatic cancer in its early stages

Symptoms

· Back pain that originates in the abdomen.

· Appetite loss or unintentional weight loss

· Your skin and the whites of your eyes are turning yellow (jaundice)

· Stools in a light colour scheme.

· Urine with a dark colour.

· The skin is itchy.

· Newly diagnosed diabetes or diabetes that is becoming increasingly difficult to manage.

· Clots in the blood.

The procedure is likely to be utilised even more frequently in the future due to the documented high level of accuracy and broad margin of safety of radiologically guided needle biopsy.

More widespread use should result in better patient care by lowering the mortality, morbidity, and expense of unneeded surgery, as well as lowering the need for other diagnostic procedures. In the future, a guided needle biopsy is likely to have a broader range of uses. Follow-up biopsies of tumours for unique pathologic studies (for example, assays for special tissue receptors and chemotherapy drug levels from within the tumour can be obtained) and percutaneous needle treatment of certain diseases (for example, the direct percutaneous needle injection of alcohol into a tumour for ablation of that mas) are likely to be two of these future applications. Pancreatic growths, both benign and precancerous. Some pancreatic growths are benign (noncancerous), while others might progress to malignancy if left untreated (known as precancers).  The pancreas has a tumour that is greater than 2 cm. It hasn't spread to lymph nodes or any other organs.  Stage IIA: The tumour has grown to be more than 4 cm in diameter and has spread outside the pancreas.

Bilateral Varicocele Embolization

Image
Varicoceles are not life-threatening, however, they can be linked to serious illnesses in rare cases. If a varicocele arises on the right side of the abdomen rather than the left, for example, make sure there is no mass or other abnormalities in the abdomen that could be causing it. Blood is transported back to the heart via veins throughout the body. They usually feature valves to keep the blood flowing in the right way. When the valves in the testicular vein don't work properly, blood can pool in the scrotum, resulting in a varicocele. They commonly happen on the left side, and they're caused by the testicular vein's path through the abdomen. Varicocele is a frequent condition that is not hazardous. In fact, a varicocele affects 15% of all adult men. Many men's varicocele will go undiscovered for the rest of their lives or may create no complications at all. Varicoceles affect about 20% of teens, therefore a portion of them will most likely resolve on their own. The

LIVER ABSCESS DRAINAGE

Image
A pus-filled patch of fluid within the liver is known as a pyrogenic hepatic abscess. Pyogenic denotes the production of pus. A liver abscess can arise from a number of various causes, including a blood infection, an abdominal infection, or an infected abdominal injury. An abscess in the liver is a serious infection. It has the potential to cause major issues and even death. It can cause tissue damage in the spot where it is discovered. Fever, discomfort, nausea, diarrhoea, and loss of appetite are all possible symptoms. The whole first treatment for an amebic liver abscess is amebicidal medicines. The medication of choice is metronidazeole. The size of the abscess is a key determinant in deciding how well medical therapy works. Other treatment options include percutaneous needle aspiration and/or catheter drainage.  The type of abscess that occurs is influenced by one's age. People in their 40s and 60s are more likely to have a liver abscess that is not caused by trauma.  The foll

What is Interventional Radiology?

Image
  The medical technology has done so much progress in the past one decade that it’s sometimes surprising. Interventional radiology is one such amazing medical innovation that involves medical imaging which guides minimally invasive surgical procedures that help in diagnosis, treatment and cure of many different kinds of treatments. For imaging, the modalities used are ultrasound, MRI, CT and fluoroscopy. Why Interventional Radiology? Many surgeries are now being switched to the method of Interventional radiology and that is because the IR procedure is known to be more effective compared to their traditional surgical counterparts. This method is any day less risky, less painful and even costs you way lesser comparatively. These reasons are influencing people to prefer the IR treatment methods and hence it is starting to expand all across the world. How does Interventional Radiology work? There are various broad range procedures performed under Interventional Radiology like treating tumo
