The authors report three cases of post-traumatic hemobilia. Hemobilia complicates about 0.5% to 2% of liver injuries. The diagnosis can be difficult because of its possible delay of appearance. The ultrasound and CT scan performed urgently are of great help in both positive diagnosis and monitoring of this pathology. Once the diagnosis is made-immediatly or a while after the trauma-a diagnostic and therapeutic arteriography must be carried out quickly.
Pseudo papillary and solid pancreatic tumor (PPSPT) is a rare tumor that occurs almost exclusively in adolescents and young women. Radiological exploration is mainly based on ultrasound and CT, which can often guide the diagnosis. We report the case of a 12-year-old girl, who was referred for suspicion of a hydatid cyst of the liver. Abdominal ultrasound showed a large solid-cystic mass, in contact with the hepatic hilum. Abdominal CT allowed a better study of the localization and the anatomical relationships of the mass. It was pancreatic head tumor encasing the portal vein and compressing the common biliary duct. The CT features suggest more a PPSPT or a pancreatoblastoma. The pathological study after surgery confirmed the diagnosis of PPSPT.
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.
