Tx: resection and hepaticojejunostomy
Type 2 Choledochal cyst and treatment?
true diverticulum
Tx: resection and primary repair, possible hepaticojejunostomy
Type 3 Choledochal cyst and treatment?
cyst in distal CBD (normal duodenal mucosa)
Tx: local resection or marsupialization
Type 4 Choledochal cyst and treatment?
multiple cysts intra and extra hepatic
Tx: resection, possible lobectomy, possible Txp
Type 5 Choledochal cyst and treatment?
Caroli’s disease, intrahepatic cysts and hepatic fibrosis (maybe assoc. with medullary sponge kidney)
Tx: resection, possible lobectomy, possible Txp
H. Pylori binds what cells in the stomach?
Can only bind cells that have undergone metaplasia
Greatest risk factor for developing gastric adenocarcinoma?
H. Pylori
Treatment for H. Pylori?
PPI (blocks H+/K+ ATPase pump) and BAM/BAT
Bismuth salts, Amoxicillin, Metronidazole/Tetracycline
Follow-up breath test
Tx for low grade gastric MALT lymphomas?
Antibiotics, treat the H. Pylori
Tx for high grade gastric MALT lymphomas?
Chemo and radiation
only surgery if perforation or uncontrolled bleeding

Which pancreatic enzymes are secreted in their active form? (list 3)
Amylase, ribonuclease, lipase
lipase technically active by still needs Co-lipase to function properly
Seminoma characteristics and Tx?
MC testicular tumor. NO AFP elevation.
Tx: All get orchiectomy and XRT. Chemo if mets.
(VERY sensitive to radiation)
Non-seminomatous characteristics and Tx?
(Embryonal, teratoma, choriocarcinoma, yolk sac)
Yes to AFP elevation.
Tx: All get orchiectomy and retroperitoneal dissection. Stage 2 or more get chemo.
(Teratomas more likely to metastasize and not respond to chemo)

Angiosarcoma
