This study shows that the patients with solitary hepatic colorectal cancer metastases should be considered for hepatic resection whenever it is feasible, because this procedure provides superior long-term survival as compared to radiofrequency ablation.
Introduction Osseous metaplasia is a heterotopic formation of bone and its appearance in benign gastrointestinal polyps is exceedingly rare. The mechanism responsible for this type of metaplasia is not fully understood, however it seems to be an innocent rare phenomenon. Case outline We present a case of a 31-year-old male with mesenchimal osseal metaplasia in a large inflamatory polyp measuring 57 × 23 × 20 mm in diameter, located in the anal canal region. Conclusion According to our knowledge, this is the largest gastrointestinal polyp with osseous metaplasia described so far. Although a rare phenomenon, there are certain characteristics of this disease, so we conducted a literature review and summarized these characteristics.
The surgical resection is a treatment of choice for gastrointestinal stromal tumors. It has been shown that adequate surgical resection correlates with high 5-years survival rates for patients with gastric GIST.
Any kind of radical surgical treatment (depending of localizations of tumor, proximal or distal) is the main therapeutic procedure in pancreatic carcinoid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
